He attended the Florence Academy of Art, graduating from the Advanced Painting program. Justas was awarded the prestigious Fourth Year Prize where he is currently pursuing further study and personal research in the materials, philosophy, and methodology of the Florentine High Renaissance masters. His work mainly focuses on portraiture, trying to see the contemporary world through the contemplative and neoplatonic lens of late medieval Europe. He views this contemplative quality as an antidote to the clutter and busyness of modern life. On a technical level he tries to develop a working method which mirrors what was done in the workshop system. This includes everything from toning ones paper, to preparing panels, to grinding and mulling oil paint. Alongside portraiture Justas wishes to develop more complex and narrative figurative work that would deal with timeless and classical themes.

I am a fourth generation Japanese-American, born in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Growing up in Kaimukī, an old town that raised my parents and now fosters me, I have been able to develop deep connections with my community and the many cultures of Hawai'i. Since I was young, I’ve had a great love for writing short stories. Now, at 19 years old, I am blessed with the opportunity to continue my studies in English at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. “Kaimukī Love Story” was a little thing I wrote as a college freshman; a local teen love story created before ever experiencing that kind of love myself. It was the first short story I’ve ever written and finished, and it surely won’t be my last. Mahalo nui loa to the National Society of Arts and Letters for the opportunity to share my work! Kaimukī Love Story Ages 19-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6a4c1abefd867b779f91b6/5b92f468-6d84-4318-ae16-7919c5f0e970/Hailey.jpg NSAL Writing Scholarships - Hailey Soucie - First Place My name is Hailey Soucie, and I am a BSc Bioscience student at the University of Limerick. I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska, and went to Lincoln High School where I was surrounded by immensely talented educators and peers. For my entire life, I've had creative ambitions and a strong passion for the written and visual arts. I spend my free time writing, drawing, and otherwise creating. I participated in the International Baccalaureate Programme, where my conviction that the humanities and STEM share an immense overlap was founded. Because of my educators and family, I've always been supported in pursuit of my passions-- including writing. A special thanks to my IB educators at Lincoln High who gave me the confidence to put myself out there, and to my family for their lifetime support.

As a tiny child he had me sit on his lap as he listened to the Metropolitan Opera radio program on Saturday afternoons. Who knew that I would start to sing at age nine, become a soloist in church, have leads in musical theatre and operas. My Papa was very proud of me! Now, I am pleased to be able to honor the memory of Bernardo Salvatore “Benny” Martorella by helping young talented opera singers in his name! — JUDY MARTORELLI, National Chair https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6a4c1abefd867b779f91b6/cf2c7e22-26f9-4a15-8614-2639249bf79d/Sarah+Rosales.jpg Martorella Scholarship in Classical Voice - 2025 Winner Sarah Rosales Salvadoran-American coloratura soprano Sarah Rosales is originally from CedarRapids, Iowa.
