I knew the Viking ship teapot would be difficult, but what I have learned is that when I have a 2D idea I can always put it into 3D if I spend enough time and work it out piece by piece.

This is my first oil painting I have ever attempted and accomplished. Although it is not perfect, I enjoyed creating it greatly. Oil paint on gesso board.

The art piece I'm choosing to submit is that of a wilted sunflower. I decided to draw a sunflower that had been wilting for a while. I think there's something so beautiful about the imperfect aspects of nature.

My cat was my inspiration for this since she too, brings in such a phenomenal feeling where I can fall deep into the natural beauty of her eyes.

I painted a Bharatnatyam dancer under a tree with falling pink leaves in front of a white hole (which is similar to a black hole but is supposed to seem not so bad even though it is).

I sketch what I see.

I hope to communicate a happy, care-free, and youthful energy with my artwork. It is meant uplift viewers with pops of fun colors, clean lines, and simple patterns.

The following piece of artwork is inspired by the constellations and the darkness of the sky... the mystery and darkness behind the unknown; yet the piece maintains the elements of creativity and individuality of the eyes-of-the-beholder that looks upon the constellations with imaginations and emotions.

The illustration itself depicts a dragon from Vietnamese culture interacting with one of the characters that I've designed named Y?n. The background itself is inspired by Vietnam's landscapes as well. This piece is one of my favorites that I've made as it combines my own culture and heritage with the fantasy genre that I love so much.

I created multiple pieces using my own photography, and creating drawings overtop through the use of Procreate and Photoshop. These photographs were taken during a solo trip to Croatia where I met up with family to visit my grandmother's home village.

I capture the essence of winter using a blend of cold colors and shadows to create the soft texture of snow.

My project is a ceramic ‘Pandora’s box’ with a twist. Instead of being filled with the suffering of humanity, it symbolizes what humanity needs to thrive, freedom. My box is covered in clouds, which symbolize feeling weightless and carefree.

This is a ceramic piece that I made with clay. It is meant to be a human heart, with patches of mold and a small mushroom growing out of it. I used various pictures of human hearts that I found online to make it the most realistic piece possible.

One day I was biking and I was thinking of little phrases I could base paintings off of. “Ether and gutters” popped into my head and I imagined grates in the sky with weird liquid dripping off of them. So that’s what I painted.

I collaged photos and text together using InDesign to create a piece illustrating how the 9/11 attacks affected various people. I wanted to shed light on real people's stories and evoke deep feelings in viewers.

I made this as one of my first art pieces then for my final I decided to animate it for my final. I had to place every single pixel by hand and it took over 2 weeks of nonstop working to finish.

My piece was developed using ripped pages as background layer, with some pages coming from a feminist book ‘The Second Sex’, revealing my identity and voice as a female. I used mixed media for the self portrait and as my process further developed, I decided to incorporate collage poetry, also from ‘The Second Sex’ to reflect the complicated and intricate mind of a teenager, and mixed emotions of love and hate - some elements and pieces that compose ‘me’.

This one is pretty old but has to be my favorite thing I've drawn in the past two years. It's a merman in space!

The art represents a human with large bunny head holding a sword in the middle of a dark forest.

This version of Narcissus is forced into self-obsession, constantly being bombarded with her own image and having no choice but to examine herself infinitely. In performing this obsessive self-voyeurism, her sense of identity starts to disappear.
