Currently I am stuck between a concentration dealing with the human form and one dealing with struggles in the environment. I have been trying to brainstorm ways to incorporate both ideas but am still in the process of figuring out which I can do quick, but also with quality.

I started this turtle last year to try oil paints once again while also representing the endangered species of turtles that are victims of by-catch as well as poachers. I went back into it in an attempt to finish it and was happy with how it came out being that oil paints are always a struggle for me.

The field museum left a strong mark on my mind with the mummy and Egypt exhibit. I could not get over the thought of mummified bodies within cases. Partly guilt that they weren't left undisturbed, partly the realization that these were actual people once alive with families, personalities, careers, now being put on display for the entertainment and education of others. This left me feeling slightly sick and heart broken, hence the gore and dark factor of the piece.

My interpretation of the "Multiple Me's" prompt was a figurative representation of my split emotions. I feel as though I am two different people trapped in the same body, one being my happy go lucky, bright, colorful personality, while the other tends to drag me down with its negativity and cloudy thoughts.

The phrase "Q13" brought a few different ideas between prison, hospital, and finally library. Initially, I had planned on doing something prison cell related, but realized I found it more representative of a librarian with a dark twist. Rather than the library theme being focused on the positive of books, I wanted it to leave a confusing concept representative of life's gray areas.

This was a conceptual piece that I did in order to convey the idea that this phrase will soon become irrelevant after the abuse done to the ocean continue to grow and later on there won't be plenty of fish in the sea, there may not be any at all.

This piece was done in oil started earlier in the year, I never finished it because I was hating it but I figured I would try to go back and fix it. Luckily I fixed it and was able to add more value to it. I was inspired to make this piece because my boss loves ducks and I wanted to have it done for a holiday gift.

This piece was very experimental and abstract in comparison to many other styles I generally lean to. My inspiration of the bee stems from my Environmental Science class after studying their importance to our environment and how their populations are rapidly dropping at the faults of humans.

I started this piece when I first purchased my gray scale pens from Blick and I wanted to experiment with them while also creating a focus on landscape attempts.

I started this piece as an expression of my mood the final weeks of the semester. With school, friend issues, school harassment, personal issues, a sick rabbit, and more, it felt like watching the world explode but feeling nothing as it did. I used water soluble inks as well as gray scale pens and powdered graphite.

This was a particularly difficult piece for me, having been with oil paint, my least used and least enjoyed medium. The wet paint made it difficult to blend and add or subtract values. Next time I use oil, I will plan ahead and start it earlier or mix it with a medium that helps speed up the process of drying.

I was primarily inspired by the flowers at the botanic gardens so I chose to focus my piece on the floral idea. I used primary color markers I found at Blick to experiment with a new medium.

I was initially very nervous about the figure paintings on the Masonite boards because I generally struggle with the human form. However, this turned out to be one of my favorite pieces. I originally was going to make the figures both female with identity, but then after making a mistake on the mouths and whiting it out, I realized I liked the sense of mystery and gender open to question and interpretation. This way the idea of love being exchanged can apply to any of the viewers who look at it no matter their sexual preference or gender identity.

Burke wanted to give level 3+ students within digital art a chance to experiment with new forms of digital art. He told us to create a set of 5 buttons within a theme of our choice that we would not lose interest in. Given that half of my diet consists of fruits and vegetables, I stuck with my comfort zone.

Burke wanted the level 3s and up to design temporary tattoos for the art gallery that represented classic tattoo themes while also representing the barrington art department

This was done with colored pencil, I wanted to capture the beauty of a black woman through warm colors as well as trying a new angle rather than straight on.

I started this piece wanting to capture a simple forest with exaggerated lights and darks, however as I completed it I realized there were certain spots that illuminated light and wanted to form a reason by displaying small spirits/nymphs protecting the woods that I believe are currently sick due to the human destruction of nature.

This piece was inspired from my past experiences with sexual abuse from my first boyfriend. The issues have continued to stay with me not only from the emotional scarring but his consistent harassment and inability to move on from the past. This was done with colored pencil.

We were told to research Photoshop and illustrator tutorials to become familiar with a new technique of our choice. I chose gradients regrettably because they were so difficult and time consuming, but with them I was able to form a fully shaded and put together deer which I am proud of, but will possibly be in the grave before ever finishing another with the amount of errors and trial and error it took to finally understand the concept.

I was inspired by line work I saw when scrolling through my Instagram account, and wanted to give it a try. It was actually very calming and not at all as stressful as I thought it would be. I used a fine tip pen and was actually inspired by my forest landscape but wanted to condense it and take a closer angle rather than the entire forms.

Our assignment for this was to do line work in order to print it into a vinyl sticker. Of course I chose a frog because not only are they one of my favorite animals, but they are very identifiable with line work.
