WASHINGTON, D.C.-U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-4) is pleased to announce Alexa Healey of Ardmore as the winner of the 2007 Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery.  The artwork titled "Chucks" was chosen from many pieces submitted by young artists from Oklahoma's Fourth Congressional District.

"Oklahoma students are full of talent and dedication and it is an honor to serve them in Congress," said Congressman Cole.  "Alexa is clearly very talented and I am happy to showcase her artwork in the Capitol." 

The artwork, "Chucks" was chosen by a panel of judges in Norman.  The piece will hang as part of a national exhibition in the tunnel between the U.S. Capitol and the Cannon

Healey is invited to attend a ceremony honoring the winners and their artwork in Washington, D.C. later this summer.
