Washington, D.C. - U.S. Representative Greg Walden, R-Ore., today
announced the Second Congressional District winner and runners-up for
the 2006 Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery. The
overall winner will have her work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for
one year and the three runners-up will have theirs displayed in
Walden's D.C., Medford and Bend offices.
"I want to congratulate these young adults on their accomplishment.
The artwork they submitted is a testament to their talent, and I look
forward to seeing them on display as I go to vote in the Capitol and
as I work in my offices. The many individuals who pass through the
halls of the U.S. Capitol and my offices in D.C., Medford and Bend
will also be able to enjoy these wonderful pieces," said Walden.
"An Artistic Discovery is a tremendous opportunity for young people
interested in art and I want to thank all those who participated,
including a dedicated and fantastic team of judges from college art
programs throughout the state. We had many fantastic works submitted
for this year's competition, and all of the students should be proud."
Megan Montgomery of Bend has been selected as the overall winner for
the District. Megan, a junior at Mountain View High School, submitted
an acrylic on paper piece titled "Voices in the Forest," a painting of
three African boys playing music. Her painting will be hung in the
U.S. Capitol's national Artistic Discovery display for one year.
Nate Ficer of Eagle Point has been selected as a runner-up for the
District. Nate, a junior at Eagle Point High School, will have his
pencil drawing titled "Freedom Rocks" hung for one year in Walden's
office in Washington, D.C.
Anastasia Mejia of Hood River has also been selected as runner-up.
Anastasia, a member of Hood River Valley High School's class of 2006,
will have her work of soft pastels titled "Song of Joy" hung in
Walden's Medford district office.
Mariah Kirkpatrick of Wasco was named as the third runner-up for the
District. Mariah, a member of Sherman High School's graduating class,
will have her pastel drawing titled "Frank Zappa" hung in Walden's
Bend district office.
An Artistic Discovery is a nationwide endeavor for students to
showcase their artistic abilities and to highlight the importance of
art education. In order to enter the competition, high school students
had to submit two-dimensional artwork that was original in concept,
design and execution from one of the following categories: paintings,
drawings, collages, prints, mixed media, computer generated art and
photography.
A panel of Oregon college art professors judged finalists to determine
this year's winner and runners-up.
Congressman Walden represents the Second District of Oregon, which
