Visual Arts

MY JAM!

I love making anything!

I guess you would say I am a bonifide maker!!

It fills my soul to try new things and spend time in the studio making things that are meaningful.

I believe that digging deep into processes and mediums develops a better understanding of myself and the world.

Check out the things I have made on my own and in class below.

This was the first project of my Visual Arts class. I began by collecting images to use in the project to create a collage about me. We used magazines as well as old music sheets, paper and textures.

Artist Statement

I chose to draw the Prickly Pear fruit in this drawing because I grew up in a very remote part of the high desert. Living in this place and running free shaped who I am. The wisdom of the desert helps to remind me that I am patient, resilient and beautiful. I grew from the roots of this ancient place, like the beautiful fruit of the Prickly Pear cactus. In this graphite study of line, shape and value, I learned to see like an artist and now I can see the beauty of this plant in a deeper way.
