Miriam E. Stroop (right) is an outstanding young adult artist, and a graduate of Roseburg High School. Her favorite mediums are pipe cleaners for sculpted, three-dimensional art, and paper and either pencil, ink, or colored pencil for drawing. She was in the third grade when she won a state-wide contest for her work depicting a water purification system. That original drawing once hung in the Office of Public Works in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Favorite subjects of Miriam's art projects are dragons, aliens and mythical beasts. Some of her drawings are shown here, and others have been put into the archives. All of the drawings on this page were new as of 17 February 2007, and all of the archive pages were reorganized on this same date.
Miriam's grandfather, John W. Stroop, was a professional artist who lived in Oregon. We collected some of the early artwork he drew when he was about the same age as Miriam. It is pretty clear where Miriam's talent comes from! John passed away December 28, 2004.
Miriam is also a Veterans Medical Center Hospital Volunteer.She volunteered a total of 300 hours at the hospitals in Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Roseburg between 2001 and 2005. Picture 1 below is of her receiving her participation certificate by the Medical Center Director at the awards ceremony 8 August 2003.
On 14 February 2004, Miriam was honored as the winner of the Youth Volunteer Service to Veterans Contest by the Marion Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) at a ceremoney at the Shiloh museum in Springdale, Arkansas (Picture 3 below).
Picture 4 below is of Ms. Rose Haptonstall awarding Miriam her DAR award (photo courtesy of The Morning News). On 19 March 2004 we learned that Miriam had won the Arkansas DAR Outstanding Youth Volunteer Award (Picture 5, below); this is a statewide honor. Finally, on April 20, 2004 Miriam was once again honored by the Veterans Administration when she received her 300 hour service pins and received a one-star Governor's Volunteer Excellence Award from Governor Mike Huckabee (Picture 6, below). In 2006 she received the Clara Barton Medal as the Wanda McClean Memorial Youth Volunteer of the Year from the Roseburg VA Medical Center (Picture 7, below).
