STATEHOUSE (March 21, 2019) — Two artists from North Manchester were honored recently at the Statehouse for being among the winners of the 2019 Hoosier Women Artists Contest, said State Sen. Andy Zay (R-Huntington).
Penny Deal and Susan Ring are among the winners who will have their artwork displayed in the Statehouse for an entire year. Thousands of visitors tour the state capitol building annually, and will have the opportunity to admire the artwork of these women.
The Hoosier Women Artists Contest takes place each March in an effort to honor female artists for their skill as well as inspire others to pursue their talents.
Deal’s artwork, titled “Hay Bales,” will be showcased in the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick’s office. Deal was also a Hoosier Women Artist honoree in 2009 and 2016.
Ring, who is also a repeat Hoosier Women Artist honoree from 2011, 2017 and 2018, will have her artwork, “Following the Light,” displayed in Indiana Treasurer of the State Kelly Mitchell’s office.
“Congratulations to both artists for being selected as winners among a very competitive and talented pool of entries,” Zay said. “I look forward to seeing their artwork, rich in color and local flair, brighten up the Statehouse for the next year.”
