Celebrating Art

I've blogged about Bailey's artistic talent throughout the years.  Once again this child of mine has amazed me with her eye for art and commitment to her craft.  

In March she received recognition for the annual ArtShare program, sponsored by Veridian Credit Union.  One of her photography pieces from the first semester was selected by her art teacher, Mrs. Klenske, to be on display at a Veridian branch for a year.  The opening reception featured the artwork of all the high school students who were selected for this honor.  This was such a special evening celebrating Bailey and her artistic talent.

Another highlight of Bailey's' senior year was during her second semester when she took an Independent Art class with Mrs. Klenske.  She painted a chair in the artroom, featuring my favorite comic illustrator, Jim Davis. 
Bailey's blog post, Painted Dreams, touches my heart so much.  Although the initial intent was for the chair to become a permanent fixture in the Cedar Falls Art Room, Mrs. Klenske told Bailey she could keep the chair.  This made my heart so happy and I love this permanent fixture in our home.

Both of these projects were an awesome encore to Bailey's artistic development, from her primary through secondary school years.  Time will tell what other artistic treasures she will create in the future.
