”All great things must come to end.” I find it fascinating how a grand empire such as Rome fell --- what used to be known as the ’Eternal City’ is shattered and a remnant of the distant past.

I created this dress to represent how overwhelming homework can get, to the point where it could feel like I was drowning. I made it by gluing my old homework together with hot glue into the shape of a dress, painting a heart onto it, then spilling down watered-down acrylic paint to mimic blood.

This still life was a piece created in from our unit on charcoal pencils.

I began with a sketch. I used charcoal pencils on toned paper, using a photo I took as a reference.

Political tension in our country has created a pervasive sense of anxiety for many individuals, as the divide between ideologies grows wider and more hostile.

This piece was created with the goal of experimenting and learning more about drawing facial structure and painting in my own style using gouache.

This piece highlights the courage it takes to step beyond the familiar and comfortable in pursuit of a better life.

This comic panel-esque print portrays the complexity inherent in a mother-child dyad.

I wanted to create a sort of character poster art for my characters from a story I made about a dystopian world.

Inspired by my dog spending time in our yard.

Designed for an art show at my school.

This art was started with a puzzle board where I decided to do a lion in graphite, I then broke up the puzzle and put in on a black background and thought it would be a good idea to do a lion with a lamb in white color pencil behind it.

This colored pencil sketch ”On Top of the World” displays a colorful snapshot of my twin and I on top of a slide at our childhood playground.

My painting is a memoir of the beautiful memories I shared with my family and grandparents the day I visited Point Reyes National Seashore.

I wanted to show a disconnect between a character and an environment, which makes the viewer maybe not register it at first, but looking deeper they might think ‘huh, that’s weird’.

First I made a sketch of what I imagined it would look like, then I stylized it to look a bit more blocky because I thought that it would look cool.

This was a fanart I made for the popular franchise, Alien Stage.

I made this because I was inspired by bubblegum rappers and that I often see other artists create characters from objects.

In ”Safe Haven,” I portray the resilience and vulnerability of a child refugee.

Observing the visage of that general from three millennia ago.
