Nominated by Art Teacher, Ms. Kuecker
Montini Catholic senior Kassandra (Kassy) Reyes has been named Bronco Artist of the Month for April. Kassy was nominated for the honor by art teacher, Stephanie Kuecker. "Kassy's a student like no other," says Ms. Kuecker. "I met her during her freshman year and knew instantly that she was very creative and outgoing. Kassy was able to make us laugh with her Digital Design creations. She had a unique view on her art process and stayed true to her personality."
"I'm super excited to finally receive this award after putting so many hours into my art these past 4 years," said Kassy, who discovered her love for digital art during her freshman year. "I love the freedom of art and that you can paint or draw anything you want without worrying about a harsh grade or criticism."
Ms. Kuecker is especially impressed with Kassy's passion for creating digital portraits using Fresco and Adobe programs. "Kassy can be very playful in nature but is also very thoughtful," adds Ms. Kuecker. "I never had a student who has made more 'artworks' for her favorite teachers. She loves gifting people with her unique pieces of art, whether they be funny or sincere, they most definitely are creative!"
"I have always felt very inspired by artist Frida Kahlo," said Kassy. "And, I really love working with Ms. K. I've stuck with her since the start and I've taken just about every art class she offers! LOL! She always backs up my ideas no matter how weird or out of reach!"
"Kassy is also talented at painting and working with clay. She has really improved her skills this year in pottery," said Ms. Kuecker. "I really enjoy having her in class and look forward to sharing her work in our Spring Art Show (April 30th)."
Kassy, a graduate of Divine Infant Jesus School in Westchester, is looking forward to majoring in Business this fall at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. She is a member of Montini's Spanish club, Student Government and Montini Maniacs (spirit team).
Congratulations, Kassy!!!
