The talent of our student artists has us like 😳 "After revisiting my hometown of Shanghai, which was full of nostalgic childhood memories, I was discouraged to find that pollution had destroyed the skies and rivers," wrote Taylor Yingshi yingshiart (17, Washington), whose above piece ☝️ "Overflow" won a Distinguished Honorable Mention in our 2020 Ocean Awareness Contest 🌊 "Through this painting, I wanted to examine the intersections between man-made structures and the natural world, and show how we must always be conscious of our coexistence with the oceans, rivers, and ponds." "Even in the comfort of our homes, we must constantly recognize that our symbiotic relationship with the oceans never ceases to exist." 💧 🤝 💧 · · · #OceanAwarenessContest #2020OceanAwarenessContest #saveourseas #oceanconservation #oceanawareness #paintforapurpose #waterislife #oilpainting #warmpainting #youngartist #youthartist
