Rachel Sturino, a senior art student from B. Reed Henderson High School, has won first place in the annual Congressional Art Award contest.The contest, which spotlights local high school artists, is conducted through the Chester County Intermediate Unit’s annual art show.

In winning this award, Rachel’s work, depicting her grandfather’s shaving kit and glasses, will hang for one year in a corridor of the United States Capitol Building. Since over 4 million people visit the Capitol each year having artwork displayed there is a very prestigious honor.

A talented artist, Rachel has also received the Best of Show Award from the Chester County High School Art Show, the William Palmer Lear Award from the Exchange Club, and the Senior Artist Award at Henderson High School. Come fall, she will be majoring in art at the University of Oregon on a Dean’s scholarship.

Rachel will be joining other winners from across the country for the opening exhibit and awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.
