By displaying one of the artist’s submissions; Google is paying tribute to one of the Uvalde school shooting victims.

One of the 19 children that were shot and killed in their classroom; at Robb Elementary in late May was Alithia Haven Ramirez, age 10.

A “clever, brilliant, trustworthy, highly lovely young woman who dreamed of attending Art School in Paris;” according to Alithia’s family. That passage appeared in her obituary. The fourth-grader, who is passionate in art; submitted a piece for the 2022 Doodle for Google contest.

Students in kindergarten through grade 12 are eligible to enter this yearly art competition. Students are encouraged to produce original art; with the goal of having it shown on the search engine’s front page.

Google created a page dedicated to Alithia’s artwork in order to remember her and all of the victims. In the artwork, a girl is sitting on the couch knitting with a ball of yarn; as a dog is seated next to her. The search engine’s name, “Google,” is concealed by artwork and windows that spell it out. You would see it as soon as you opened a new search window.

Alithia also captions the artwork. The 10-year-old stated, “I want people to be delighted; when they see my interest in painting. I want the world to see my work and show the world what I can achieve.”

Matthew McConaughey, an actor and native of Uvalde, mentioned Alithia’s skills in a June speech; on Capitol Hill in support of gun legislation. He displayed the girl’s self-portrait; as he was standing at the platform. In heaven, looking down on her; it depicts Alithia sketching with her buddy.
