It's the second time Mae Cowper-Gray has won a prize in the competition
A Kilcullen student has won second prize in this year’s 71st Texaco Children’s Art Competition.
In the 14-15 years age category, Mae Cowper-Gray (age 15), a pupil at Cross & Passion College in Kilcullen, won second prize for her work entitled ‘Della's Resolve (My Determined Sister)’.
Her artwork is described by Final Adjudicator – Irish visual artist, curator and educator – Pauline O'Connell, as a work which “captures a moment with great accuracy. With textural precision, the artist renders the knitted hat, skin, hair and fabric with a delicacy of touch using coloured pencils.”
No stranger to the competition, Mae won first prize in the 9-11 years age category in 2021.
The Texaco Children’s Art Competition is popularly regarded as the longest-running sponsorship in the history of arts sponsoring in Ireland, with an unbroken history that dates back to the very first Competition held in 1955.
