Pine Crest Upper School student-artist Liam Riesz ’23 is a Scholastic Art and Writing Awards national silver medalist for his digital art piece titled “Decay.”
More than 110,000 students submitted nearly 320,000 works of art and writing to the 2020 Scholastic Awards. Only 3,000 works received a national medal, placing Liam in the top 1% of all submissions.
Liam’s artwork was selected by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts for excellence in originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
“Decay” will be published in Scholastic’s online gallery. He will also be listed in the Yearbook 2020, a companion publication to The Best Teen Art and The Best Teen Writing anthologies, which feature a selection of work by national medalists.
Congratulations, Liam!
