The skull and unlit candle are representative of death, the growing, potted flowers represent life, and the perfume, makeup, wine bottles, and articles of clothing are the pleasures of life.
Rain Makes Flowers Grow

The colors chosen represent the politically driven issues raised in the show. This piece is a mix of mono printing with ink, and citra solv transfers.
Diary Unfolded
mixed media. This piece was created by sewing and tapping large pieces of mixed media paper together in an organic form. I then toned the paper with watercolor paint and used ink, paint, markers, pastels, chalk, makeup, and graphite to create a piece inspired by my middle school diary.
Still Life in Graphite
(2x4ft) graphite on paper. This piece was drawn from life over the course of a few weeks. The focus of this piece was realism and using a new technique of building up graphite. There is no pressure put on this paper to make darker areas, ideally, this whole piece could be erased back to bright white. The objects in this piece are life sized.

Commissioned Piece

I kept the figure relatively the same and took liberty with the sky, and water in the image.
