this year as well as the unique talent each artist displays,”
“The Congressional Art Competition is becoming a tradition in the Fourth District.
I am impressed by the level of detail and skill displayed in Kyle’s drawing of the ‘Tomato.’
I am proud to display Kyle’s drawing in the U.S. Capitol and
I commend all of the students for their remarkable artwork.”
