Kadee Jensen
Kadee Jensen, a senior at Glacier High School, won this year’s Curator’s Choice Award. Jensen’s piece, “Drops of Lava,” is a beautifully crafted ceramic teapot that also incorporates bamboo and copper. The work is perfectly balanced and technically exquisite. “Working with clay is one of my favorite things,” she remarked. Jensen studies art with GHS Art Department Head Josh Lancaster. The Curator’s Choice Award comes with a cash award of $100 and a one-year membership to the Hockaday Museum of Art.
