West Columbia, SC 06/02/20205 - Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) is pleased to announce Kinsleigh Ringus of Lexington High School, as the Second District of South Carolina’s 2025 Congressional Art Competition winner.
“The Congressional Art Competition is a way to recognize the talent of young artists in the Second Congressional District of South Carolina and across the nation. I congratulate Kinsleigh for her wonderful submission. The piece, entitled ‘Under the Palmetto Sky,’ is a talented and colorful use of watercolor, pencil, and acrylics to convey a South Carolina theme. A special thank you goes to her parents, Adrian and Ashleigh, as well as her art teacher, Anna Degtyareva. I look forward to showing her artwork to all of our visitors in the U.S. Capitol over the coming year,” said Congressman Wilson.
What an inspiring initiative! Recognizing young talent through the Congressional Art Competition is a great way to encourage creativity and community pride. Just as young artists like Kinsleigh showcase their vision and passion through art, entrepreneurs must also showcase their ideas clearly especially when seeking funding. Whether it's creative or commercial work, the ability to write an Investor Business Plan that captures attention and tells a compelling story is equally essential. Congratulations to Kinsleigh on this well-deserved recognition!
What I love about Speed Stars is that it’s all about you vs. yourself. No pay-to-win. No upgrades. Just skill. Improve your timing, and you’ll see results. It’s fair, competitive, and oddly meditative.
