This is a really talented artist I came across while researching! I love her pieces! Her name is Stina Persson. She does paintings with water colors.

Another artist I found to check out would be Yulia Brodskaya. She uses coiled paper or other materials to make images.

creating a animal... elephant... with man made objects...

 creating a man made item with natural found objects...

 this was a type of problem project. We had to have it portray aspects of some kind of issue. I choose a more  humanized issue rather then a environmental. Effects of gambling...

 on the top of the box it cuts out pieces the affects. So inside the box might look like all fun and games but it is that same cone of vision for those who are addicted. They don't see what's outside the box. 

 This was the silverware for my logo project.

 I made the Eggo logo out of waffles. Then made it look like an actual breakfast set up.

 prior to painting the silver ware. I didn't want them to be too loud and shinny and take away from the Waffles since their tone is somewhat muted.

 final.

Sketches

Just some Sketches done for my drawing class...

 Here is a piece where we had to take a magazine clipping and place it in. I love it because it looks like an x-ray from the bone.

 Bends in paper

High School Years

These are earlier pieces that I created and I felt like posting them its kind of interesting to see the progression and versatility.

 This piece above was actually from Middle School. We were all to pick and animal and create a picture of them with oil pastels.

 This is just a doodle but i like the sketch quality and colors. And I think the bee is cute.

 This is a self portrait one of the first ones I think I have actually done. Its very flat and the neck is really long. Not to mention how gray it is.

 This was an experiment in one of my art classes painting with ink. I wanted to have it seem like they were in bubbles and just a unique design.

 The next two are from the sculpture class i took in high school. For some reason I was into skulls at the time and decided to do this mask. The motorcycle was actually a painting of the one my moms boyfriend at the time had and I thought it was cool.

 This was a interesting project. Wire sculpture. We had to choose and animal and I choose an elephant because its my favorite animal. Then once we designed our sculpture we could wrap it with tissue paper to give it some pops of color and other interesting surfaces. We were instructed though that we couldn't wrap the whole structure because we needed the wire to show through since it was a wire sculpture. As for the tree I think we had to place the animal in its habitat some how.

 Again, back to skulls, haha, this was a printmaking assignment where we did linocuts. I had a lot of fun experimenting with the assorted colors I would roll on to the slab.

 I also took a cartooning class. We were instructed to do a piece was someone we were inspired by. At the time I was really into soccer and still playing so I looked to Ruud Van Nistelrooy a soccer player for Manchester United soccer team on the Premier League. We also had to place ourselves some where with in the piece so I decided to be interview him after winning a match. It was kind of cool to make a character of urself.

 This project was you had to create a still life and include a drawing of yourself. So I choose to do my CD player and a set of fake flowers I had and then draw myself reflected in a little hand held mirror I had. This piece was done in colored pencil, acrylic paints, and drawing pencils.

 For this project we were to choose one of the seven deadly sins. I choose wrath. It was done in watercolors,  charcoal pencil and acrylic paint.

The final piece on here was interesting one. We composed a skeleton in the center of the room and were to draw that with chalk pastels. Prior to starting the composition though we frescoed out a piece were we were to insert ourselves somewhere within the skeleton. so after we finished chalking in the skeleton we went back in with watercolor and painted our selves.
