My crochet doll is of a character I've had since I was about 7 or 8 years old and over the years, she has grown and changed, She always had iconic log hair but her style has dimmed from the eye-bleeding creativity I came up with as a small child,. Creating her as a doll was my way of bringing her to life in the real world, giving her a physical form that I could hold and cherish. To make the doll, I used chenille and bulky plush yarn. I chose yarns that would give her the best color match to her most known look. It took a lot of time and patience to create her, making sure she looked just like the character in my mind. She represents my creativity and my past. I've been able to improve and use her my whole life, and her appearance shows how I've grown as an artist. She’s a symbol of my imagination, and my artistic influence my entire life, she become a staple to my online art presence. The hardest part of this project was getting the proportions and details right. I tried to be as orginal and use as little help or patterns as possible,  so it took some trial and error to make her look how I wanted. If I were to start again, I’d experiment more with how to crochet hair and dresses, as well as redo her body since it was done so early in my practice. The doll's style is a mix of cartoon and soft, handmade art. I love how the crochet gives her a unique, cozy feel, which is what makes her special to me. This style reflects my love for creating things that are both meaningful and personal, bringing a little piece of my imagination to life.

This piece combines my fascination with mythological creatures. Inspired by the chaotic, wild nature of goat demons called Satyress , I created a figure that was somewhat moveable to expand my comfort zone. In creating this piece, I sculpted tiny individual pieces of the goat demon’s body, carefully shaping each one by hand. Once the pieces were dried and fired, I strung them together using elastic, allowing for flexibility and movement. After assembling the body, I painted the figure with acrylics, carefully layering the purple hues to give it depth and texture. The most challenging part was working with the broken leg, but embracing it led to creative problem-solving. If I started over, I’d be more careful with the structure and find a new way to shape the pieces and tighten the elastic without breaking it. 

My grandma asked me to make her a unique ashtray, and I wanted to create something special for her. I was inspired by the calming shape of a lily pad, something that represents peace and tranquility. The idea evolved from wanting to blend nature with function—an ashtray that’s both beautiful and useful. I shaped the ashtray by hand, forming it into the shape of a lily pad with curved edges. I used carving tools to add texture, mimicking the veins of the leaves. After bisque firing, I glazed it with soft green and earthy tones to capture the natural look of a lily pad on water. This ashtray doesn’t have any symbolism. It’s simply a practical, well-crafted piece designed to be functional and visually appealing. I focused on creating something simple and useful without any deeper meaning.

These two acrylic paintings are inspired by a mix of two of my favorite games. I wanted to capture the emotions and atmospheres of these worlds rather than just recreate scenes. The characters are original and I used acrylic paint on canvas, starting with loose sketches and layering colors to build depth.  One of the hardest parts was making these paintings feel original instead of just looking like fan art. I had to find ways to show the mood of the games without directly copying them. my style consists of cartoonish animation. They are personal reflections of my love for these games as their characters. 

My magazine collage inspired by Ishmael explores humanity’s complex relationship with nature and the myths that shape our society. I used scissors and glue to piece together National Geographic clippings of landscapes and manufacturing scenes, layering them to show the contrast between nature’s beauty and human industry. If I started over, I’d experiment more with texture and dimension.

For this artwork, I painted a character from the game Mid-Fight Masses because I was drawn to their bold design and intense energy. I’ve always liked the game’s unique art style and music, and painting one of the characters let me connect with it on a deeper level. I used acrylic paints on canvas, starting with a pencil sketch and layering colors. If I could start over, I might try using a digital format to explore more effects. This piece fits into a stylized, semi-abstract style that blends fan art with my own expressive touches. I love how it captures both the spirit of the game and my personal connection to it.
