Contact: 202-225-6365

WASHINGTON, May 31, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Congressman J. Randy Forbes is pleased to announce that this year's Congressional Arts Competition winner, representing Virginia's Fourth Congressional District, is Heather Danet. Heather, currently a junior, attends Colonial Heights High School in Colonial Heights, Virginia. Heather chose to create her incredibly detailed piece of art by only using a pencil. Her work depicts a globe, book, and a set of keys.

"Talented high school students from across the district submitted artwork for this year's Congressional Arts Competition," Congressman Forbes said. "It was wonderful to get to see each of their creativity and skill expressed through their art. A special congratulations to Heather for her achievement; we are proud to have your artwork representing the Fourth District in the tunnel to the U.S. Capitol this year."

Heather has been invited to come to D.C. and join Congressman Forbes for an unveiling ceremony and reception in June. Her artwork, along with the other winning pieces from across the country, will be proudly displayed in the Cannon Tunnel, where hundreds of visitors, staffers, and Members of Congress pass through every day as they make their way to the U.S. Capitol.
