We attended the Artists Opening Reception on February 2nd and enjoyed seeing her work shown alongside the other students' from the Portland metropolitan area. The awards ceremony itself was held at the Newmark Theater in downtown Portland in February 22nd. It was so inspiring to be in the presence of such talent!
Sarah won Gold Keys for two pieces:
"Self-Portrait in the Style of Alice Neel"
She's also entered this in a scholarship competition through the Portland Women's Club in April. Fingers crossed.
"Untitled" book arts sculpture (since then renamed "Unreadable").
She's entered this in an exhibit at the Walters Cultural Arts Center in Hillsboro in May. Fingers crossed again...
Sarah was also part of a group whose paper dress won a Gold Key. Although her name wasn't on the submission (and, thus, the Gold Key was not presented to her), I think she deserves credit for her part in the project. It's shown here on a very manly mannequin. :-) Enlarged, you may notice that the skirt is made from old sheet music.
This class project culminated in a multidisciplinary show wherein the dresses were modeled by class members via a runway fashion show. Dance department students coached the models in their runway walks and filmmaking students captured it on video. Click on the link below to view the entire show.

Photography students captured each look as still photos which were then compiled into a 2012 calendar. Sarah's group's dress made the cover!
We're so proud of Sarah's work and are hopeful that the strength of her portfolio will help her in her search for college admissions!
Update 3/30/12:
Sarah received word that "Unreadable" was accepted into the Questioning Functionality 3 art exhibit at the Walters Cultural Arts Center in Hillsboro. It will open in May. This will be her first non-student exhibit - so exciting! Way to go, Sarah!
