           RECOGNIZING THE ARTISTIC TALENTS OF LINDSAY KILROY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL F. DOYLE

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 2005

  Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tremendous 
artistic ability of a young woman from my Congressional District, 
Lindsay Kilroy of Woodland Hills High School. Lindsay is the winner in 
the 2005 14th Congressional District of Pennsylvania's High School Art 
Competition, ``An Artistic Discovery.''
  Lindsay's piece, entitled, ``Self Portrait Reflection,'' is an 
impressive portrait in acrylic paint of a young woman's face.
  Lindsay's artwork was selected from a number of outstanding entries 
to this year's competition. I am certain that her family is proud of 
her artistic talents as well as this accomplishment.
  It gives me great pride and pleasure that Lindsay's painting will be 
representing the 14th Congressional District of Pennsylvania in the 
national exhibit of high school students' artwork that will be set up 
in the United States Capitol in the coming weeks. The winners of the 
Congressional Art Competitions held in each Congressional District will 
be displayed in that exhibit.
  I encourage my colleagues as well as any visitor to Capitol Hill to 
view Lindsay's artwork, along with all of the other winning artwork 
that will be on display throughout the next year. It is truly amazing 
to walk through this corridor and see the interpretation of life 
through the eyes of these young artists from all across our country.
  I would also like to recognize all the other participants in this 
year's 14th Congressional District High School Art Competition, ``An 
Artistic Discovery.'' I would like to thank these impressive young 
artists for allowing us to share and celebrate their talents, 
imagination, and creativity. The efforts of these students in 
expressing themselves in a powerful and positive manner are no less 
than spectacular.
  I hope that all of these individuals continue to utilize their 
artistic talents, and I wish them all the best of luck in their future 
endeavors.
