"Natalie's work was selected by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts for excellence in originality, technical skill, and emergence of personal voice and vision," explained art teacher Miss Claire Raack.
Natalie is among only 18 northeastern Ohio artists—and the only ceramicist—to be recognized in this year's national competition. Her work will join those of other award-winning artists to be displayed at the National Scholastic Art and Writing Exhibit in New York City on June 7-9.
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards is nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens.
