Alabama Artist ’ s Hand- Crafted Ornaments at the National Christmas Tree in Washington , D . C .
Ornaments by a local Alabama artist dazzled President ’ s Park at the White House in Washington , D . C . as part of the 94th Annual National Christmas Tree Lighting display entitled “ America Celebrates .”
“ It was an honor to paint ornaments to help the nation celebrate the holidays in one of our most recognizable national parks ”, said Alexandra Toney , visual arts student at Booker T . Washington Magnet High School . “ I was excited to be a part of the display because my ornaments will be a part of history as the nation bids farewell to President Barack Obama and his family after living in the White House for eight years .” The featured ornaments are an interesting display of what Alabama has to offer in regards to iconic sites . Acrylic paint , combined with a variety of brush sizes and brush strokes , was used to hand paint each ornament . The acrylic paint colors were mixed by the artist to create exact colors to illustrate each scene .
Alexandra ’ s art was featured at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts ’ Sensational Still Life exhibit . She was awarded the 2016 Scholastic Art & Writing Award for her work entitled , “ The Forest of Buildings .” Alexandra is a faithful member of the media production team at Fresh Anointing House of Worship where Bishop Kyle and Pastor Kemi Searcy are her spiritual parents . She is the daughter of Sydney and Zandra Toney and adored by supportive grandparents , Leroy and Mary Yelder .
