Fourteen year old Shannon student Jake Justice will have his artwork included in a national calendar.
A student at St. Patrick’s Comprehensive, Shannon, a drawing from Jake has been chosen to illustrate the 2017 Texaco Children’s Art Calendar.
One of thirteen chosen to illustrate the publication, Jake’s piece, entitled ‘Ross Castle, Killarney’, will appear during the month of August and will be seen in thousands of homes throughout Ireland in 2017.
Winning a Special Merit Award in Category B of the 2016 competition, it was one of a number said by a competition adjudicator to perfectly reflect the incredible talent and imagination of children and the essential role played by schools who encourage and inspire their students through art education.
Over recent months, Jake’s work has featured in exhibitions held in Belfast, Drogheda and Dublin.
Calendars are currently available through a select number of Texaco service stations and Texaco authorised distributors countrywide.
