This art is in Honor of my Dad who died in 1999 of lung cancer. He was only 58 years old when he passed.  This is an encaustic painting of my father as a young man holding my oldest brother in his lap. Encaustic is the art of painting with pigmented hot wax.

This art is is in honor of my great grandmother who died of old age. She was 105 years old when she passed away peacefully in here sleep. I choose to do this idea because she loved to play cards with me whenever my family and I came to visit her in Ohio or when she lived in Florida. I put her name on these cards and on the back I put photos of me and my family with her and some funny photos she took.

My great grandpa passed away many years ago when I was very young. I remember little moments with him and some things he loved. One thing i distinctly remember is his love for horse races. He loved watching the races and knowing the horses names. So for my memorial piece I decided to watercolor a google image of a person riding a horse during a race to represent my great grandfather.

This is a drawing of a blanket that my mom gave to me on my first birthday. After she passed away  I am always sleeping with it because it makes me feel like she is always there with me. It also reminds me of how kind and sweet she was with me and my brothers.

This tree represents my grandpa that has passed away years ago.This has lots of meaning to me because my grandpa from my moms side was very close to me and he was like another dad to me. This  is very meaning full because he was a very important person in my life

This is my work in progress 9/11 memorial. I am using colored pencils and acrylic paint in a mix in order to color the city. When the memorial project started, it was around september 11th. I had no idea what I wanted to make, until I thought about the Twin Tower.

I made a 9/11 painting because I feel the pain that there family member had. I wanted to remember them because we didn’t know when we were going to see them and when were were going to hear there last words. There wasn’t a lot of people saved but I know that they won’t be forgotten. We will always remember this day as one of the most painful event in history.
