Winner - Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Contest 2023 - Celene C. - Pearl Award

Congratulations to Celene C, (age 14, Red Cloud) for achieving a Pearl Award in the Junior Category for the Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Contest for 2023! Her art piece celebrates the work and activism of Dr. Tiara Moore.


Celene’s Description:

“For my art piece, it all started with a beautiful smile. While searching for a climate hero, I came across Dr. Tiara Moore and was immediately drawn to her warm smile. I looked into her fantastic work as a marine biologist and decided she would be my climate hero. I drew a portrait of Dr. Moore in the middle of my piece and from then on, I added sea animals swimming around her. I did this to show the viewer all the animals that Dr. Moore helps through her work to save our planet. I used bright, lively colors to create feelings of joy and hope. I wish for those who see my artwork to realize that there are people out there trying to save the Earth and that they can, too.”

Great job Celene!
