BELLOWS FALLS â A Bellows Falls Union High School senior has won an honorable mention in the 40th Annual Congressional Art Competition.
Riley Rice, 17, was recognized for her mixed media piece entitled âEzra,â a portrait of an individual created in her imagination. The piece was made in summer 2020 with acrylic paint and paper recycled from an old book.
âI wasnât really inspired by anything. I kind of, when Iâm painting, just like to go with the flow and see where it takes me,â she said, speaking by phone Tuesday during an outdoor class with Bellows Falls Union High School Anna Macijeski. âI kind of take inspiration from past pieces Iâve made, and use that as a way to guide me.â
