2024 Kid’s T-Shirt Winner:  Emely Puente Fernandez

Emely is originally from Lima, Peru. She arrived in the US last year. She has a 9-year-old little brother and she really likes spending time with him. They paint watercolors together, ride bikes, and Emely also walks to visit her cousin who lives close by. She loves art because it lets her imagine different things if she lets her imagination be free. Her favorite painting is Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh that she saw one time in Peru in a TV program and it really inspired her. When Emely is alone she likes to dance, sing and walk while she listens to music.

Emely es originalmente de Lima, Perú. Llegó a los EEUU el año pasado. Ella tiene un hermano pequeño de 9 años y le gusta mucho pasar tiempo con él. Ellos pintan acuarelas juntos, pasean en bicicleta y también Emely camina a visitar a su prima que vive cerca. Le encanta el arte porque le deja imaginarse en diferentes cosas si ella deja que su imaginación la inspire. Su pintura favorita es La Noche Estrellada de Vincent Van Gogh que ella vio una vez en un programa de televisión en Perú y le inspiró mucho.  Cuando Emely está sola le gusta bailar, cantar y pasear mientras escucha música.
