Congratulations to West Jessamine High School student, Allie Keck, who won the High School Best of Show for the entire state of Kentucky for her painting! Her work was considered Best in Show over all two dimensional categories. Painting, drawing, digital art, photography, printmaking, and graphic design. In sports terms, it is the equivalent of winning an individual state title in wrestling or swimming not just for one weight class or event, but besting them all. Basically she was named Mr./Mrs. Basketball of KY for Art.
Let's Go, Allie!
