Homer Artist Wins Nationals
Stephen C. Hyde
Meagan Condie is a senior at Homer High School. Condie has been creating art since freshman year. It was just last year, however, that she realized it was her passion. Last year Condie received a gold key for her art at the Central New York Scholastics. This year, she won much more. She received a silver key for her eight-piece portfolio; one piece received a silver key, and another two were awarded golden keys. Her skull drawing also received the best drawing in the show. Her skull was selected as one of five drawings to move to nationals for the American New Visions award. When the national judging was done, Condie's skull piece was selected as the winner of the American New Visions award. In June 2017, Meagan will go to Carnegie Hall in New York City, where the award ceremony will take place. Scholastics will hold onto her piece and place it in an undetermined art gallery.
This is not the end of Condie’s art career. In the fall of 2017, she will be attending Alfred University for art. She has received the art portfolio scholarship, one of the hardest to receive at the University. Meagan has also been chosen to draw the new design for the Homer High School diplomas. The members of The Olympian wish Meagan Condie luck as she continues her art career.
