2013 CMFS Season Poster Unveiled

A sophomore at Saugatuck High School, Marie Peña has pursued art for as long as she can remember. A three-time Art a Loan winner, her hobbies include listening to and playing music as well as making art. She plays two instruments, the piano and the clarinet, and is a member of the high school band.

She writes, "I chose an abstract take on the violin form with primary colors because I thought it would be attention-grabbing. The red paper in the background represents notes and rests in sheet music. The yellow bars represent the five lines of the music staff.  I am excited that my design was chosen this year."

When asked what she will do with her prize money, Marie gave a reply that will resonate with women, "I'll probably get new shoes."
