'For yet another year, I was completely blown away by the talent and creativity of so many art submissions from students across TX-11,' Pfluger said. 'While it was hard to select a winner from all the incredible entries, in a blind selection process, the committee picked Ms. Jastrow's piece 'The Exception' because of its unique take on Texas agriculture, as well as its incorporation of our beloved Texas wildflowers. It's a great combination of multiple parts of the district – embodying the rugged, agriculture-centric spirit of West Texas and the lush, colorful brightness of the Texas Hill Country, both of which I am honored to represent.' Jastrow explained the creation process for her art in her submission.
