I’ve drawn a lot of self-portraits throughout my time as an artist, but I think this one shows all that practice paying off in what I consider one of the most accurate depictions of my face and style.
This is another character I’ve designed, whose name is Tess. She looks fairly stoic at first glance, but really shines when she gets to show her creative side.
This piece was one of three I made in a series about the significance of the color yellow in my life. To me, yellow represents happiness in simplicity. A big part of growing up is learning how to push through hard situations. My life will probably never be filled with gardens of sunflowers stretching for miles, but on my worst days, a sticky-note rose from a friend brings me unimaginable joy. This piece reflects the youthful happiness of putting flowers in your hair, which is something I still do to this day. I may no longer be a child, but I can find joy in the same places I used to.
This summer, I’ve been getting into more traditional portrait work using Adobe Fresco. I put that into practice with this piece through an unsettling staring contest with the viewer, leaving one no choice but to gaze back at her. As for the crow on her finger, my imagination has always been drawn back to the inky birds and what they symbolize. Why, one may ask, do they scan so intently? A question that may only be answered by Madame herself.
One of my greatest passions within art is character design. This character named “Eris” mirrors a lot of parts of myself––she goes with the flow, she finds passion in her friendships, and she can always stand up for herself when she needs. In flower language, each of the flowers has a unique meaning as well, with the hyacinths on the ends representing joy and platonic love, the carnations representing gratitude and love, and the pink daisies representing gentleness. Eris’ design has changed drastically since this, but our shared joy and love of flower language never will.
Since I was the lead branding designer for the 2022 Winter Art Show at my school, these banners were my responsibility to design. These two are the main element that are advertising the show and providing color to the bleak winter surroundings.
These cards are part of a collaborative project I had the opportunity to be a part of. Using the theme “decades” (with the 80s as all the hearts cards, 90s as spades, 00s as diamonds, and 10s as clubs), each of us designed two face cards and four number cards. My loose theme for all my number cards was “internet phenomenons,” and the face cards did not need to fit in with that.
For the hearts (80s) card I had, I used a still frame from Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video from a song that originally came out in the 80s. The video is now an iconic part of internet history, so it was only right to use it with my internet phenomenon theme.
As a team, we all decided the ace cards should represent one of the most iconic symbols from the decade in question. Thus, for the 90s, I took my inspiration from the large-scale beanie baby craze.
As a child, I was majorly into everything cat-related. Thus, with the opportunity to design a card about any internet-related phenomenon from the 2010s, it was only right that I drew Pusheen the Cat and her animal friends.
My team decided that the king and queen cards for this deck would all represent important figures from the decades in question. For the 2010s queen, I went with one of the most monumental tennis players of my generation: Serena Williams.
