Stretched hands (soft pastels)

Stretched hands. Soft Pastels on Paper. 2016.

As I was thinking of ideas for soft pastels, I kept looking at the features in my hand and how they interested me. I had remembered I had taken a photo of my hand holding a rock in the summer time. My idea of the artwork was that life could be hard, like a rock. Someone out there will have their hands stretched to help another through a rock and a hard place. Hands fascinate me. I like the fact that are just tiny little figures sticking out of a bigger figure that controls a lot of things in your life.

The Pawful Truth. Mixed Media. 2019 Once again, I have created an art piece of my cat, Jasper. I painted him first with a spatula to give him a texture. Then, I turned the canvas upside down and painted detail of my cat. I don't have an explanation for why I putting the newspaper around the cat, I had a different idea in my head before I started to paint.

Cup Full. Porcelain Clay with Glaze. 2019 As I made this piece I incorporated my love for leaves and make the cup have a 3-D effect with the leaves. I slashed little lines in the cup to give the cup some texture and a worn type of look to the piece. Instead of making the cup have a plain and common handle, I decided to give the cup a unique handle for it to stand out .

Gray Clouds Trace the Sky

Gray Clouds Trace The Sky. Pencil Drawing. 2018 For this piece, I wanted to try and challenge myself to draw a self-portrait. The picture was taken at Waconda Lake by the shore. I have never been to the lake before my boyfriend decided to take me. We were walking by the side of the lake and he decided to take pictures of me. The drawing signifies stepping out of my comfort zone. I am not an outdoorsy type of person and for me to like being outside is a big accomplishment. The name of my drawing actually has my boyfriends name and middle name in it if you can figure it out!
