WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) welcomed Congressional Art Competition Winner Sage Hassell, a recent graduate of Mountain View High School in Bend, to the U.S. Capitol to see her winning painting unveiled in the national student art exhibit. Walden presented Sage with a special congressional certificate in recognition of her artistic talent. Sage’s painting, entitled Flaunt It, was selected by a panel of local judges as the overall winner out of 136 student entries from central, southern, and eastern Oregon. “I want to congratulate Sage on being chosen as this year’s winner of the Congressional Art Competition for Oregon’s Second District,” said Walden. “For the next year, Flaunt It will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol among the best student artwork from around the country for members of Congress and thousands of visitors from around the world to appreciate. This is a truly impressive accomplishment and a testament to Sage’s artistic talent.” Sage with her artwork hanging in the U.S. Capitol.
