An Incredible Talent

Emily Chen, a homeschooled sophomore and winner of this year’s Congressional Art Challenge, visited our office today with her family.

Emily's winning artwork is titled "United in Dreams."

Emily captured the true spirit of the United States of America in her work. I am proud to share her art with visitors to our nation’s Capitol because I know they will be as inspired by it as I am.

Emily describes her original acrylic painting depicting a mother and young daughter as “a child learning about elements of U.S. culture and history that inspire and enable her to exercise creativity and imagination in her own life. The mom and daughter interaction represents the important values of family and education. The iconic images represent American ideals and achievements that encourage children to explore and realize their dreams.”

The talented young artist from Congressional District Eight met with Congressman Hamadeh before viewing her artwork on display in the Capitol tunnel.
