Clinton Senior Makayla Speed recently received the Silver Key Award in the Scholastic Art & Writing Competition for her painting "Heaven Waits For Me."

Makayla said the recent loss of family members as well as her faith served as inspiration for her painting. 

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards started in 1923. Silver Key Awards are granted to artists who place in the top 10% of submissions within the artists' region. 

Winners of awards over the past century include names like Robert Redford, Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, John Updike and Lena Dunham.
