GAHANNA, Ohio — A Gahanna teenager’s artwork will soon be featured in Walmart stores throughout the country.
Walmart commissioned Gabby Anderson to paint the Beauty in Color collection; a series of portraits highlighting the founders of multicultural brands sold in its stores.
Beginning this week, Walmart customers can view the portraits at product displays in more than 1,500 stores. Nearly 80 of those stores will be in Ohio, where Anderson grew up.
Prior to graduating from IMG Academy in Florida, Anderson attended Gahanna Lincoln High School. She plans to attend and play basketball at Harvard this fall, according to a release.
Monique Rodriguez, founder of Mielle Organics, is just one of the many entrepreneurs to be featured in Anderson’s paintings. Other founders include Afro-Latina and Dominican-American sisters Mabel and Shaira Frias, who co-founded Luna Magic. Other brands to be featured include By Sharon C., Kim Kimble and Flawless.
