Kids who are born with CP have trouble controlling the muscles in their body. Taylor is 8 years old now. She uses a power­wheelchair to get around. Her twin sister Sydney participates in sports, but Taylor has a different interest: art.

　　Taylor submitted(提交) a watercolor painting of a sunset in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, to an art contest. Of the more than 5,500 students who took park in the contest, only 51 were selected. Taylor was one of them. Her winning painting is now being displayed in Union Station, in Washington, D．C. After leaving Union Station, the exhibit will tour the country.

　　The contest was sponsored by VSA, the international organization on arts and disability. The nonprofit group was started to give people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in the arts. Submissions for the contest came from students with and without disabilities. The exhibition is part of VSA's International Arts Festival and was also sponsored by CVS Caremark's All Kids Can program.
