Washington, D.C. — This week, Congressman Barry Moore (AL-02) congratulated Elle Salter, the Congressional Art Competition winner for Alabama’s Second District. Elle is a senior at Providence Christian School in Dothan. She plans to pursue a degree in Architecture, as she has a fascination with abandoned buildings and structures.
Elle’s artwork, titled “Inflation”, features a colored pencil drawing of an abandoned gas station. The artwork will hang in the United States Capitol Building for the next year. Alongside Elle were four runners-up: Ananya Reddy and Alex Hughes from Dothan, Pierce Bailey from Enterprise, and Francis Gamble from Ozark. Their artwork hangs in each of Congressman Moore’s four district offices.

“I am excited to congratulate the winner of this year’s Congressional Art Competition, Elle Salter from Providence Christian School in Dothan,” said Moore. “It is an honor to have her beautiful artwork represent the Second Congressional District of Alabama in the U.S. Capitol. Elle and the other artists who participated this year have an incredible gift and a bright future.”
