Lee-Scott Academy’s Pie Clinard just put Opelika on the map by winning the YoungArts Visual Arts Competition—one of the toughest contests for high school artists in the country. Pie’s portfolio, inspired by family, friends, and classic artists like Norman Rockwell, tells a heartfelt story about growing up. She credits her mom and her art teacher for fueling her creativity and confidence. What’s really inspiring is her message: you don’t have to be a prodigy to start—just pick up a brush and keep at it. How do you think our community can better support young artists like Pie? #Education #Opelika #YoungArts
