Statebound–Junior Shyan Lujan shows her winning painting on Feb. 17 at Frenship High School. Her work was called “Stop to Taste Something New”.

Junior Shyan Lujan advanced to state in Visual Art Scholastic Event competition on Feb. 19 at Frenship High School.

Lujan’s artwork was a painting called Stop to Taste Something New.

“I wanted to find a style that would help me relax and destress,” Lujan said. “It was a style that wouldn’t hold me to the pressure of keeping things realistic. I didn’t have anything in mind when I started painting. I poured colored water onto a paper, and if I saw something there, I painted it.”

Lujan will be judged at state on April 27-28 in San Marcos.
