Union Grove High School (UGHS) senior Mehlia Michna has achieved a significant milestone in her artistic journey by winning first place in the District 1 Congressional Art Competition. Her winning piece, a stunning colored pencil drawing titled "A Representation of Me," has earned the honor of being displayed in the United States Capitol Building for an entire year.
Mehlia’s exceptional talent and dedication to her craft have not gone unnoticed. Her artwork, which captures a deep and personal reflection of herself, impressed the judges and stood out among numerous entries from talented young artists across the district. This accolade not only highlights her skill but also her ability to convey profound emotions through her art.
In recognition of her achievement, Mehlia will travel to Washington D.C. in June for an awards ceremony. This event will celebrate the accomplishments of young artists from around the nation whose works will also be exhibited in the Capitol.
The UGHS community, particularly the Art Department, is bursting with pride and excitement for Mehlia. Known for her humility and tireless dedication to her work, she is a deserving recipient of this prestigious award. Her commitment to excellence in art has set a remarkable example for her peers.
