Her work is now on display for U.S. Capitol visitors to appreciate year-round.
Rep. Foxx stated, “Jessika is an incredibly talented artist, and I’m proud to have her work representing North Carolina’s Fifth District in our nation’s Capitol. ‘Brook Trout’ stands out among all the competition entries for the unique medium she uses—a perfect sycamore leaf. It was wonderful to have her in DC for the installation of this masterpiece.” ### U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx represents North Carolina’s 5th Congressional District and is Republican Leader of the House Committee on Education and Labor. |
