That this House congratulates eight year old Emie Sion, a pupil at Western Road School in Lewes, whose artwork Three Mythical Creatures was selected out of 23,000 entries to appear at the prestigious Royal Academy’s Young Artists’ Summer Show; notes that Emie’s pyrography piece showcases both her creativity and the school’s commitment to encouraging the arts; recognises the invaluable role of schools like Western Road in nurturing young artistic talent and ensuring all children have the opportunity to explore their creativity; wishes Emie and her family an inspiring visit to the private viewing at the Royal Academy; and hopes her success inspires other young artists in Lewes and across the UK to pursue their artistic passions.
