Picking a winner of the original Helen Minelli painting ‘”Iris” is the late Sonoma artist’s granddaughter, Sassarini fifth-grader Michelle Minelli, right, and her great niece Maria Toimil of Exchange Bank, which sponsored the raffle to benefit the school’s Outdoor Education Program.
The winner, contacted by school officials immediately after Monday night’s drawing, said she plans to give the painting to her mother, who is also named Iris.
