The painting can be interpreted in any way that seems fit, but it was made with the intent of expressing the feeling of being held back by something or someone. The subject is glowing with life and the background reflects that. The vines are meant to juxtapose that, as they are meant to be connected with the feeling of suffocating (metaphorically). The vines can represent a person, an obstacle, an emotion, etc. Despite the vines being a negative force, a fragile balance is established between the subject and the vines that confine her. The vines could be interpreted as something that keeps her grounded, a challenge, that once overcome will lead to incredible growth, or something else entirely.

To me, the painting represents an individual taking back their power from someone else, something, or from herself (her mind, her doubts, her fears, etc). The lighting and dark background shows that she has this enlightened power, but her expression shows that her power is still a little unstable. The painting was inspired by the song Surrender by Jhene Aiko featuring Dr. Chill.

It's just a simple scratch art I did of a fish for class.

“Solly” is a portrait of a friend from school. I was inspired to draw him as he is a particularly kind and funny person. Like other friends, I have not seen him since February.

This is a self portrait from a selfie I took while on a walk with a friend before the pandemic. It represents a moment where I felt very happy, and brings back good memories.

This is a piece I did when I was in a really weird mood. I felt like drawing something not entirely human or comprehensible.

This painting of my family represents recognition that despite all the chaos around us there is still so much beauty, and so much to wonder about.

I made a painting using acrylic paint to make a dragon and I also used silver leaf as the dragons scales.

I made an origami piece with acrylic paint and some origami shapes.

Childish Gambino is a charcoal portrait I did of the artist Childish Gambino/Donald Glover.

Oil Pastel Donuts: I’m proud of this drawing because it was the first time using oil pastels and drawing food.

Water color: I’m proud of this drawing because it’s one of my original characters I made this year. At first it was drawn in makers and I decided to redraw it again in water colors.

This project was finished on September 18 and the materials I used were a toned piece and a black flair felt tip pen.

Watercolor painting of a 1984 911 Carrera in rubystone red. One of 3 in the world, this rare and gorgeous pink made it stand out to say the least. I was inspired by Paul Howse's watercolor artworks.

I created this self portrait doll inspired by the one in the movie Coraline. I made a wire armature for the doll's body and sculpted the features out of air-drying clay. The hair is yarn, which I attached one-by-one using a few different colors. I designed and sewed the doll's dress and made her necklace, too.
