Nick Lamkin of Atherton, a senior at Sacred Heart Prep, is featured as winner in the experimental/abstract category in the annual student art competition in "The Artist's Magazine."

His prize-winning work, "Pig Headed," shows a large pig in military uniform with small sheep wearing gas masks in the foreground. Inspired by Pink Floyd's album "Animals," Nick selected newspaper and magazine clippings showing war and other tragedies involving innocent victims and adhered them to the background.

Nick attended the Rhode Island School of Design pre-college program last summer and plans to continue his art studies in college. His art teachers include Peggy O'Leary, head of the department of fine arts at Sacred Heart Prep, and Phyllis Aroner of Redwood City.
