Emily Haws recently won an art contest by the Bishop Noonan of Central Florida.
Emily Haws, a seventh-grade student at St. Brendan’s Catholic School in Ormond Beach, recently won an art contest by the Bishop Noonan of Central Florida. The piece, titled “In the Manager,” will be the cover of the bishop’s Christmas card. The 12 years old competed aganist all of Central Florida’s 6- to 12th-grade students.
Haws was named the winner of the Diocese of Orlando’s first Christmas Card Art Contest that Bishop John Noonan announced Nov. 25. Her winning entry was created with India ink and watercolor, and depicted the baby Jesus in a manger tenderly reaching out to a nearby donkey.
“All of the art submitted was extraordinary in its expression of faith,” said Carol Brinati, chancellor for administration of the Diocese of Orlando and one of the judges. “Ms. Haws' art captures the starkness of the place of the birth of the christ child and the precious beauty of God's wondrous gift of life bestowed upon us-Emmanuel-God with us.”
