Student Award Winners
Ceramics Award
Linda Baker, Ghost Birds, 2024
"Birds are sentinels, the current threats to them from climate change are warnings of future threats to us all. In this set of wearable porcelain sculptures, each bird represents a California species that is included by Audubon on their list of climate threatened and endangered birds."
Mixed Media Award
Fernanda Loreto, Mi Ranchito, 2024
“This artwork embodies a slice of my homeland, Mexico. Having spent my formative years there until I was 16, this traditional home holds a special place in my heart symbolizing my deep affection for my country, its simple beauty, and warm atmosphere.”
Painting Award
Eunyoung Park, Upcycled, 2024
“This painting represents my experience after being shattered. I borrowed a concept from Japanese art called Kintsugi, repairing broken pottery.”
Drawing Award
Frank Yung-Fong Tang, Self-Portrait, 2023
“How Georgia O’Keeffe rendered flowers in close-up inspired me to render my self-portrait like a child looking up, a close-up image of me.”
Photography Award
Elsa X Núñez, Beautiful Strength, 2024
“Every person has at least one exceptional story to share about their lives. I love hearing stories from everyone I meet. It’s inspiring.”
Sculpture Award
Anna Novitska, Girl with the Pearl Earring, 2023
“I like making beautiful things, I am very happy that at De Anza College you can turn any idea into reality.”
Additional Works
Here are some of the other works in this exhibition
Jay Gall, On Target 1
"Each work was inspired by the desire to capture a discrete and fleeting moment in time, unique in form."
Karl Medina, Little Dragon
"My children inspire me to cultivate a sense of creativity and culture within the family."
Dan De Zordo, Coyote
"Photography has provided me an opportunity to explore and capture the beauty of Bay Area landscapes and wildlife."
Iryna Kaleniuk, St. Andrews Church
"St. Andrew’s Church is one of the most beautiful churches in Kyiv. I created this embroidery during the first couple of months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It was my way of coping with the stress and sleepless nights that I had while calling my mother in Kharkiv and all my group mates."
