Memories Live On. Pencil and Charcoal. 2020

Memories Live On. Pencil and Charcoal. 2020

 For the last patriotic piece of my high school career, I decided to create a pencil drawing portraying a girl holding a metal marine button. I enjoy playing some of my family history into my art pieces so, that's exactly what I did for this piece. For the little girl portrayed in the drawing, I used one of Lee Jeffries photographs. I chose his photographs because of the way the people portrayed such great emotion in each photo. The whole piece is supposed to symbolize children of lost soldiers having a piece of remembrance of their father or mother. Since my father was a marine for several years, this piece has some significance to me since she is the daughter of a marine.

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!
