South Whidbey High School student, Aurora Coffey, won First Place and a $100 prize in the wall art category for her watercolor painting titled “Pomegranate” at the American Association of University Women 21st annual All-Island High School Showcase of the Arts.

Students from the three high schools submitted their artwork to a panel of professional artists who selected the final pieces for exhibition and awards, according a press release.

The event was sponsored by members of the Whidbey Island Branch of AAUW, and featured cash prizes for the first, second and third place winners in five categories: wall art, photography, sculpture, ceramics and jewelry.

The show also featured prizes for Best in Show and Shutterbug, which was created in honor of a member’s father who was an avid photographer.

Coffey received her award during an artist reception on Friday, May 4 at the Coupeville Recreation Hall. Coffey is a junior at South Whidbey High School.
