Memory Project

April 1, 2018 ASAA

(1st Place – Painting)
CONGRESSIONAL AWARD

Title of Art Piece: Memory Project
Category: Painting – 2018
Student/Artist’s Name: Amber Rounds-McPherson
School: Thunder Mountain High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

In this piece (both portraits), I lovingly mixed oil based paints on a thin unstretch canvas, using my arsenal of brushes and fingertips. This portrait was created as a donation to “The Memory Project,” a nonprofit organization that invites young artists to create portraits of children around the world. The subjects of the portraits have faced the unbelievable horrors of violence, disasters, extreme poverty, and neglect. To paint anyone face is an intimate and personal undertaking, hopefully this sharing of art will help the children to feel valued and important, and to know that people around the globe truly care about their wellbeing.
