Lapeer East High School art students honored for work at Michigan Arts Festival

Lapeer East High School junior Hillary Davlin and senior Ayla Asawasathaporn were honored at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival in Kalamazoo May 13-16.

Hillary was chosen as one of the artists in the State of Michigan to exhibit art as part of the traveling Governor’s Art Show in 2010-2011.

Ayla’s artwork was honored as being among the top 100 pieces judged from around the State.

Students from all over Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula, sent pieces to this competition. Each teacher submitted five pieces for judging.

“I am proud of the work done by Hillary and Ayla and of this very special recognition,” said Mrs. Debbie Helbig, the students’ art teacher.
