2015 Krylon^® Clear Choice Art Scholarship Winners

The 2015 Krylon® Clear Choice Art Scholarship campaign resulted in nearly 100 qualified submissions. The talent represented in reviewed portfolios is quite impressive, making annual judging increasingly difficult.

Five recipients have received a $1,000 scholarship to the college of their choice, as well as a package of Krylon® artist products. The scholarship recipients’ high schools art programs also received a $500 grant and Krylon artist products, from which multiple students will benefit.

An additional ten students received Krylon product packages valued at $70 each and their high school art programs received product packages valued at $250 each.

Katherine Mulligan

College: School of Visual Arts

Hometown: Kirkville, NY

I feel like a story is best told by simply looking into a person’s face. It is important for me, as an artist, to capture this in my work.

Benjamin Jarvis

College: Laguna College of Art and Design

Hometown: Thatcher, AZ

Art, to me, has a lot to do with seeing beauty in areas not always recognized.

Alyssa Ackerman

College: University of Wisconsin — Madison

Hometown: Waukesha, WI

Drawing and painting is truly an out of mind experience for me and it is always a little startling to see a face emerge from what was once a blank page.

Natalie Davis

College: Miami University

Hometown: Mason, OH

Art is a field with many diverse opportunities. I want to be able to share my creations and help inspire others to do the same.

Colleen Deignan

College: Ball State University

Hometown: Lafayette, IN

I love using my art to communicate with others because a piece is interpreted by everyone differently and has more depth than words ever have.
