Winterfest Participation at Maclay School (COCA Council on Culture and Arts)

All 6 of our participants are fantastic artists! We are very glad that we were allowed to show their work to our community. Special thanks to to Maclay Administration for being a huge supporter of the arts. We missed K. Dressel on this night as she was catching a plane out of town. But, her students represented well!

Congratulations to Maria for her 2nd place award and it was well deserved for such a stellar young artist. Glad to see she is still doing art as she was always in middle school art club!

Here is Mary with her 2nd place award. I am super happy to have this right brained artist in my class. She is amazing and not only does she think outside the box...she thinks as if there was no box at all!
