Evergreen Junior High student Elise Barton has created a work of art that will soon become iconic for art aficionados as well as bird enthusiasts.
As part of Tracy Aviary’s art competition/fundraiser, Elise joined her peers from Evergreen and other schools at The Old Flamingo furniture store and displayed her magnificent painting of a flamingo to be considered for the grand prize.
“This was the 3rd annual auction, but only the second year that the donated artwork was all from students at local schools,” said Evergreen Junior High art teacher Sutton Morgan.
Elise’s design will be featured on a t-shirt that will be sold for one year at Tracy Aviary and The Old Flamingo with all proceeds going to fund the aviary’s flamingo exhibit.
Congratulations, Elise!
