Since he was old enough to hold a crayon in his hand, art has been an everyday part of Skye Ocaranza’s life. From drawing dinosaurs and creating his own Pokémon at age three to entering his illustrations in the Stanislaus County Fair’s annual art exhibits throughout his school career, the recent Pitman High School graduate is no stranger to creating masterful works of art – so masterful, in fact, that a recent piece has earned him a trip to Washington, D.C., as the winner of the Congressional Art Competition for California’s 10th District. Skye earned first place in the competition, hosted by Congressman Jeff Denham, with his drawing titled “Ramephant,” which was illustrated using pen and ink.
