Starting in the 7th grade, I participated each year in the Historic City of Jefferson's annual art contest, which focused on historic properties around Jefferson City. In high school, it was on the same day as the Jefferson City Art Club's Sketch Day contest, and I won many awards over the years, including First Place in the Historic City of Jefferson contest and Best of Show in the Sketch Day competition. All my entries were watercolors completed in-situ over the course of four hours, per the rules of the Sketch Day contest.
Schmidt Apartments, which received a local preservation award the same year. (10th Grade)
A craftsman-style house in the Moreau Heights neighborhood. (11th Grade)
The Lohman Mercantile and Lohman Opera House, iconic buildings in downtown on High Street. (12th Grade)
The Missouri Pacific depot. (8th Grade)
