Title: Every girl can be a leader!

Grade Divison: Primary (grade K-2)

Details: acrylic paint and marker, 16 by 20 in. canvas

Artist Statement: I want to show my voice: Every girl can be a leader, building a better world together! Like Maria Montessori, I want to become a leader in education, inspiring many kids to enjoy reading and learning. Like Marie Curie and Kathryn Johnson, I want to become a leader in science. I hope to build green-energy cars to protect the environment, build ultra-fast spaceship to explore Mars and space, build robotic mermaids and discover new materials in oceans to help cure diseases.  Together, let us turn the voice into actions - lead our way towards a better world.
