Lee Imonen Receives Faculty Recognition Award

Lee Imonen, instructor of sculpture, has been presented with the Spring term Faculty Recognition Award. The award was based on nominations from students, staff, faculty, and alumni.

As part of the application, Lee's students write, "Lee is an artists’ artist. As an instructor he instills a deep sense of commitment to the learning of skills, creative research and process, critiques, and outcomes of student's art projects. He is tireless in providing technical expertise, artistic concepts and historical references to art making. Indeed, Lee has not only helped students strive for higher goals but works to inspire a strong work ethic... so important to producing fine art for personal enjoyment, cultural inspiration, and for the uniqueness of gallery installation as well as for reproduction. He brings out the best qualities in his own students, in the students of other classes and their studio interaction."
Congratulations to Lee!
