Noah's captivating painting of a perched pelican has been chosen to grace the cover of the Vermilion Parish 2023 phone book, which goes to tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the area.
Kaptel, a local telecommunications provider, organizes the publishing of the phone book each year. This spring, they invited high school students from Vermilion Parish to participate in the cover contest and Noah emerged as the victor among numerous submissions.

The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork make it a fitting centerpiece for the Vermilion Parish 2023 phone book cover.
Noah expressed his excitement and gratitude, stating, "I am incredibly honored and grateful to have my artwork chosen for the cover. I hope my painting of the pelican brings joy and represents the beauty of our community to everyone who sees it."
The phone book will be distributed to local businesses and residential areas throughout the region. As community members receive their copies, they will be greeted by Noah's masterpiece, showcasing the remarkable talent nurtured within the parish.
