GLTHS Painting students finish well

TYNGSBORO -- Juniors and seniors in the Painting and Design program at Greater Lowell Technical High School had a chance to highlight their painting and artistic talents as guests of the Northeast Chapter of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, a national organization of professional paint and wall-covering contractors.

The 17th annual Students' Faux Finish Competition was held at the PDCA's annual Conference and Trade Show, a three-day event in Springfield.

Painting and Design students from several vocational high schools displayed their work to be judged by a panel of professional painters and faux-finishing experts.

Greater Lowell Tech was well-represented at the competition in such categories as marble/polished stone, wood graining, wall glazing, textured/decorative plaster, and mixed techniques.

Ribbons were awarded to junior Kimberly Egan of Dracut, third place in Marbleizing/Polished Stone; senior Monica Coupal of Dracut, third place in Mixed Techniques; and juniors Rachel Hunt and Rachana Teng, both of Lowell, tied for third place in Wall Glazing.

Rounding out the list was a sweep of the Wood Graining category, with junior Jamie Overoye of Lowell taking first, senior Katelyn Fournier of Tyngsboro second and junior Victoria Gibbs third.
