An artwork by 8-year old Dublin student Marianne Barrett, from Scoil Mhuire Girls’ National School, Lucan, has been chosen to illustrate the 2020 Texaco Children’s Art Competition Calendar. One of 13 chosen to illustrate the publication, Marianne’s piece, entitled ‘Daisy’, will appear during the month of March and will be seen in thousands of homes throughout Ireland in 2020.
Winning a Special Merit Award in the 7-8 years age category of the 2019 competition, it was one of a number said by a competition adjudicator to perfectly reflect the sheer talent and skill that many young people in Ireland possess and the essential role played by schools who encourage and inspire their students through art education.
