Process

This past semester the early state of my artistic process has changed dramatically with the use of concepting and sketching multiple compositions before tackling a larger work. Once I have decided on a layout that works best, I know it is complete once there is nothing more to add visually and the original idea has been reached. Usually utilizing graphite or pen to my advantage - it is in thin line work where I find my skills to be most successful.

Progress

My progress has changed most significantly due to being challenged with different materials such as charcoal and acrylic paint. Besides art materials, I have been giving more and more thought to composition within my work and more specifically how to use symmetry and abstraction to expand my creative boundaries.
