Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fl) recognized Doral Academy Charter High School senior Gaia Rodriguez for her winning piece in the 2014 Congressional Art Competition in Florida’s 25th congressional district.
Her piece, titled “Haggard,” was chosen out of 141 entries submitted from 18 participating schools for the annual art competition “An Artistic Discovery.” Her painting will represent District 25 and be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel that leads into the U.S. Capitol for a year.
A viewing reception for the submitted art work was held on May 2 at Mary Collins Community Center in Miami Lakes.
