This year’s first place winner is Karen McDonell of Hilton Head High School. Her winning piece, “Lady of the Lake,” will be featured in the U.S. Capitol along with other winners from every state across the country for an entire year. This year, Mace’s office received artwork from 8 schools across the district in various mediums, including photographs, digital art, block print, colored pencil, charcoal, and paint.

"Lady of the Lake" by Karen McDonnell is a captivating black-and-white photograph that features a serene lakeside scene. The focal point is a woman standing gracefully in shallow water, her figure reflected in the calm surface, with two boats gently floating in the background. This photo beautifully encompasses the Lowcountry!
