Making His Mark

A Valencia High School graduate, Tyler Recchia recently won the Congressional Art Competition representing the 25th Congressional District.  His vibrantly colored award winning oil glaze, Kayla’s Dream, hangs prominently in the Cannon Tunnel Gallery that leads into the U.S. Capitol, and will remain there for a year.  Kayla’s Dream depicts a young woman whose face is set on a backdrop of wooden panels.  Beautiful images of owls surround her, symbolizing her wisdom.
