  Mr. DOYLE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the artistic 
ability of a young woman from my Congressional District, Stephanie 
Taylor of South Allegheny High School. Ms. Taylor is the winner of the 
2010 14th Congressional District of Pennsylvania's High School Art 
Competition, ``An Artistic Discovery.'' Ms. Taylor's artwork, an 
acrylic painting entitled ``Leaves,'' was selected from a number of 
outstanding entries to this year's competition.
  In fact, sixty works from twelve different schools in Pennsylvania's 
14th Congressional District were submitted to our panel of respected 
local artists. It's a real tribute to her skill and vision that her 
work was chosen as the winner of this year's competition. I am certain 
that Ms. Taylor's family is proud of her artistic talents and this 
impressive accomplishment.
  Ms. Taylor's artwork will represent the 14th Congressional District 
of Pennsylvania in the national exhibit of high school students' 
artwork that will be displayed in the United States Capitol over the 
coming year. I encourage my colleagues as well as any visitor to 
Capitol Hill to view Ms. Taylor's artwork, along with the winning 
entries from the high school art contests held in other Congressional 
Districts, which will be on display in the Capitol tunnel. It is 
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 like to recognize all of the participants in this year's 14th 
Congressional District High School Art Competition, ``An Artistic 
Discovery'' from Brashear High School, Nour Qutyan; from the Pittsburgh 
High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, Zoe Capcara, Emily 
Daley, Kyle Gorcey, Amber Key, Noel Peterson, and Audrey Stygar; from

Gojkovich, Randy Stegner, Jr., Brianna Stevens, and Jacob Williams;

Jessica Clair, Nicolette Deighan, Krysty Kunkel, Dana Lyons, Chloe 
Regan, and Chloe Weiss; from Pittsburgh Allderdice High School, Dani 
Hicks, Jordan Keitel, David Newbury, April Post, Tsu Hung Tien, and Yan 
Yang; from Schenley High School, Maurice Campbell, Briana Jackson,

  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.
