I chose to do a dream catcher piece because I am fond of legends and folklores. It is made up of lots of different pieces of paper. I used many different colors to make it prismatic and eye catching.
My Starry Night Owl piece was made with paper scraps and the background is marker. Animals have always been an inspiration to me because they have many distinct features and they are fun to draw. Mosaic is one of my favorite mediums as I find it stunning how all the colors and shapes come together to make a picture.
I really love animals so I think it is important to keep trash and waste out of the environment. For this reason, I like to use a lot of recycled materials in my pieces. Art gives me joy because I like working with my hands and using vibrant colors. Sometimes I look at a piece thinking it's amazing that someone created that and think maybe I can make something like it, too.
