The Congressional Art Competition is a nationwide event that allows high school students from across the United States to showcase their artistic ability. This year's competition theme was "Feelings of Home: What makes your town feel like home?”
"I just decided to do the Oklahoma bird and that was the scissor tail and then I decided to do more in the background with it so it's not just one singular thing," Cadence said. "And the state flower is the Oklahoma rose, so I decided to do that."
The recognition includes a flight to Washington D.C. for Kinney and one other person so she can visit her artwork in person at a reception on June 20.
