        We had to make a self-portrait with quick mark-making. I enjoyed this one, making silly faces always adds to the fun!

        For a photoshoot narrative, I took some friends downtown to pose in front of murals. This is a drawing of one of the photos I took. Unfortunately some of the proportions are off, namely in the head region but otherwise I’m satisfied with how it turned out. I liked working on

        A project from high school; our teacher always had students make a brown sack still-life each year.

        A study we had to make for my advanced drawing studio class.

        A still-life of the corner of our living room  

      In ceramics class, we were told to create a self-portrait through a pair of shoes. I chose my “Jesus” sandals because they can be worn with both casual clothes like T-shirts and with dresses. I am generally a laid-back person and I love that these shoes can be dressed down or up

        Painting in general is a difficult medium for me, it typically takes me longer to complete those works than others. I am very detail-oriented and this piece I probably took it to the extreme, drawing every last leaf shape of the trees’ outline in the original photo. To finish it on

        For an “edible” still-life, I set up a glass of wine and hung grapes on the rim and around the base. Done in chalk pastels, my favorite means of color when it comes to artwork.
