Artist: Rayen Kang, 17
Hometown: Johns Creek, Ga.
Species: Emperor goose
Rayen Kang is a recent graduate of Northview High School in Johns Creek, Georgia. She enjoys drawing in her free time and she has taken art lessons from the age of 10, learning how to accurately portray still life, people, and nature from her observations. Her emperor goose painting was her third submission to the Junior Duck Stamp Contest. As she chose two species of ducks in the previous years, her decision to paint the emperor goose this year stemmed from a desire to learn more about wildlife by immersing herself in a broader scope of waterfowl. The Junior Duck Stamp Contest taught her over the years that however amazing paintings may be, they cannot compare to the wonders of real waterfowl, fueling her support for the conservation program. When she isn’t drawing or planning for another drawing, Rayen enjoys playing cello and playing with her pet bunny. She will start college at Georgia Tech in the fall of 2018.
