In Hopeful Anticipation
This is a painting of a woman on her wedding day. The woman happens to be my mother. This painting was especially difficult because of that. However I was able please her. I spent much time on the fabric trying to express the silkiness of the fabric. I also spent much time on the eyes trying to bring as much life to them as possible. Medium: acrylic on masonite
Prime
Named Prime because of the use of colors, the expressions depicted in the image are also primal instincts: frustration, fear, anger (from left to right). I chose the colors in correspondence to the expressions and the material used. The eyes are the best features in the piece and truly convey their corresponding emotions.
Medium: charcoal, water color on paper. Awarded honorable mention for Foundations Drawing Class in HCC Student Art Show.
Pearlessence

Fossilized Egg
This egg shaped piece works great as a paper weight, shelf stopper, and decorative piece. The color really gives off fossilized feel. The focus of the piece is the twisted tip.

Tribal Tile
This is a simple tile with an abstract symbol carved into it. The color and the texture give off an archeological vibe. The lines direct the eyes diagonally across the piece in both directions. The focus is the widest impression.

Cornucopia
Not ideal for food, this horn shaped piece is a cross between a sea shell and a horn. Great for decoration. This was my first ceramics piece. The direction of the piece is from the outside in due to the shape, the detail at the mouth of the piece and the indented detail that leads your eye to the bigger rim of the piece. The focus then becomes the green interior.
