Jackson, Mich.—Today, Congressman Tim Walberg announced the winners of the 2022 Congressional Art Competition for Michigan's 7th District.
 
Katelyn Richards, a graduating senior at Lumen Christi Catholic School in Jackson County, received first place for her entry, Changing Seasons.

Katelyn’s art teacher at Lumen Christi is Alicia Miller, and her winning artwork will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel to the U.S. Capitol Building.

“The talented young artists who call our district home have once again submitted some exceptional artwork for this year’s competition. It is always a joy to see the students’ creativity and hard work on display,” said Walberg. “A special congratulations to Katelyn for her winning piece, which impressively brings to life the four seasons we are blessed with here in Michigan.”

Second place was awarded to Cadance Sharpe, a graduating senior at Jefferson High School in Monroe County. Her entry, Honey Dipper, is a drawing of a honey jar and dipper made with colored pencils. Cadance’s art teacher at Jefferson is Sarah Carter, and her runner-up artwork will be displayed in Congressman Walberg's Jackson office.
