Senior Xinyi “Cherry” Xie has won a National Gold Medal and a National American Visions Award from the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers for her painting, “Balcony.” Xie was profiled along with four other Harker regional winners in the spring 2012 Harker Quarterly (page 23). Xie has been invited to Carnegie Hall for the awards ceremony at the end of May and her work will be included in the scholastics exhibition in New York City at Parsons the New School of Design.
