Her work has been collected by the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery, among others.

Previous recipients of the Twining Humber Award include Mary Randlett, Patti Warashina, Ramona Solberg, Doris Chase and Fay Jones.

Hu will be honored at a public reception from 6-8 p.m. May 28 at the Bellevue Arts Museum. (Reservations required; 206-467-8734 ext. 16 or www.artisttrust.org).
