The Goleta Valley Art Association Award

Kelsey Whittaker 107 Awarded to Kelsey Whittaker

.

Kelsey Whittaker, a 17 year old junior at Carpinteria High School, created a sculptural bust of her grandfather Ken Nack, who was a well-known artist and art professor from SBCC until he died a few years ago.  Kelsey said that her Ceramics teacher Lori Stout showed them a video that helped  them work from a 2 dimensional photograph to create a 3 dimensional sculpture.  Kelsey’s grandfather was a painter and Kelsey’s primary love is dancing.  “But, said Kelsey,  I’m really glad I got to do a portrait of my Umpa.  He would have liked it.”.
