One of my favorite expressions to capture in a painting is love, which is what I did in my newest piece, "Bonded," featuring a brother and sister tiger in a very special moment. These two big cats clearly trust and love each other, so I painted them with that in mind, keeping the fur texture as soft as possible.

“Co-Host” is a short film script based around the idea that kids’ shows, when looking back at them, can be kind of creepy. We decided to take that idea and run with it, creating a comedic horror story about the connection between an unwell man, Jack, and his puppet counterpart, Gumble.

This digital animation portrays a certain analogy. The hand represents the creator, God, but also depicts me, creating this animation, giving life to this character.

Dodecahedron is built on a twelve-tone row (C# G C B D E A# G# A D# F# F). Its structure emerges from continuous motivic transformation involving this core material. The piece begins with twelve statements of this row, transposed (in order) to the pitches contained within it and sometimes layered over one another.

My submission is an arrangement I recently made for my sibling string quartet. I first started making arrangements for string trios and then later for string quartets. When my siblings and I were younger we were a string trio and we wanted to play Edelweiss from The Sound of Music but there weren't any arrangements for two violins and cello readily available.

My illustration depicts a person who has already been consumed but is attempting to escape. This is why I chose the word Sciamachy as my title, a Greek phrase that refers to “fighting your demons” or “fighting imagined enemies.”

This is an abridged version of my interpretation of Rachmaninoff's Second Sonata, which I chose to interpret after being drawn to its dramatic, intense and passionate character.

In naming this piece, "When Life Gives You Lemons," I hope to put a spin on this common saying and further express the ways in which optimism and positivity can enter our lives.

When approaching the concept for this film, my crew and I wanted to put our everything into it. From writing to production, we made sure to out all of our knowledge to its most efficient use, honing our skills with each step of the process.

I mainly composed the piece just as a pretty and calm piece, to contrast some earlier works of mine in a cycle of preludes, but I found its name as something to fit its mood later.

This is a drawing of raindrops on a window looking out on a busy street. I heard a jazz tune that just felt like night rain on a busy street.

I chose to do a skeleton because I found them beautiful. Most people did Catrina's because of culture but mine was slightly less serious.

The piece is about a fairy whose wings had been torn apart and feels hopeless yet numb in a sort.

The main focus of my image are the mountains, but looking at the whole image, you can see that I have also included a few trees casting their reflection in the water.

I hope with this exploration that people walk away from this project and think about the damages humans cause not only to our planet but to the state where I live. Every time I walk out my door, I am greeted with the beauty of California and when I travel in the state; I see the elegance and grace of other parts of the state and the stain of destruction, loss, and devastation.

My artwork was a gift for my mother. I took what colors she wanted into consideration, and set out to try some new things with oil paints, which I don't have a lot of experience in.

I did it with a process which first I had to have an idea of ??what it was going to be about and what animal it would take to make it a spiritual guide and why it had to be that animal, in my opinion it was a cat because it shows a affection towards people without caring about the act of people towards him.

\When beginning an art piece, I usually start with a sketch to get my creativity flowing. Sketches help me to determine what exactly I want to draw or create before starting on the final art piece. It normally takes me a few different sketches to get my idea the way I pictured it on paper.

This piece was inspired by one of my closest friends. He has seen the worst of me but has stayed when no one else did.
