When someone is truly excited and passionate about something. It is amazing to watch how passion can transform someone, and nothing inspires me more than seeing one’s inner light shine through when they are doing what they love. 

 

Mount Madonna School fifth grader Simone McIntyre has entered her mixed-media work, The Ocean of Stars , in an art contest organized by the California Coastal Commission. 

 

In a statement that accompanied her work for the contest, Simone shared:

 

‘ The Ocean of Stars is made of a paper sky and a painted ocean with sparkly stars and shells washed up from the sea.
