Rendering
Acrylic
(Winter 2021)
This was a diorama I created based on Robert McCall’s Searching For Life, an originally 2D painting that I wanted to bring some depth to. I had a lot of fun cutting out and painting each layer, and even added LED tape to light the inside of the box.
This was a self portrait where I split the page in half to show the skeleton inside of me. I really like skeleton imagery so it was nice to practice painting one!
This log cabin was done as an introduction to acrylic paint, and taught me a lot about blending and color. I really like the rocks under the porch in particular.
This was a drawn from life painting based on a door in my apartment. There is even a smaller version of the painting within the painting, where this now hangs!
Watercolor
(Fall 2020)
Space and tree filled landscape, using wet blending techniques and splatter for the stars. This was my favorite piece of the quarter
Seascape, cityscape, and trees, mix of wet and dry blending to create reflection on the water

Quarantine Art
Furby Organ
Drawing for Designers Winter 2020 Final
The assignment: We had to present 3 sketches that could be adapted into a poster. Upon seeing my sketch of the Furby Organ (based on an original piece by Look Mum No Computer on YouTube), my instructor requested that I take that exact drawing and create a full color rendering.
My approach: I taught myself the basics of Adobe Illustrator to trace and then enhance and colorize my original drawing, as well as using images of real furbies run through filters to create a cohesive look. I also made a video to present to the class, as it was right when stay at home orders started coming out so our in person final presentations were cancelled.
