Natural Self Portrait. Pencil. 2019

Natural Self-Portrait. Pencil. 2019

I have always created at least one drawing throughout every year of high school, for my last year of high school I decided I was going to challenge myself. I love drawing faces and I have not attempted to draw a full-on self-portrait so I decided to challenge myself and draw a big drawing of myself close up with no make-up on. It was hard not to draw things that I deemed ugly so I did not want to draw but in the end, everyone has imperfections that they have to except.

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.

I wanted to show how once a person lift the pot, the petals of the flower are hanging by a thread, hence it is a clay and string piece. Therefore, when one puts it back on its base, the flower is put back together. It resembles a relationship.

Staying Beautiful. Linocut. 2018.  For my piece Staying Beautiful, I challenged myself to create something out of my comfort zone. I wanted to take a risk and do a linocut print with one of my dawnings in my sketchbook. I wanted to communicate simplicity and just a reminder of the little beautiful things in life.
