Ybanez, who is a freshman at West Forsyth High School, is the winner or the 2013
Student Art Contest sponsored by BookMarks book festival and Art for Art’s Sake
(AFAS).
Ybanez’s
artwork was printed on 5,000 bookmarks that are being distributed throughout
Winston-Salem and surrounding counties
Ybanez was
an eighth-grader at Clemmons Middle School when she created the art that won.
In September, she was recognized at the BookMarks Festival of Books and Authors.
“The AFAS Art Selection Committee
was very excited with this year’s competition,” said Julie Knabb,
vice chairman and art director of Art for Art’s Sake. “The number and quality of the
student entries this year was outstanding. The winner clearly captured and
defined the joy of exploring imagination through reading.”
Ybanez
enjoys art because of its “unique ability to create and destroy.” She has won
several awards both in school and in the state for her art and writings. She is
interested in art as well as the field of forensic sciences and has taken an
interest in anthropology and psychology.
