Come by to the Spring 2023 JAA Arts Festival to view a long line-up of stunning visual works from this Academy's pool of talented artists. There will be art works ranging from the classical and simple style of paper and ink to constructions made of modern day silicon and plastic. Not all displays will be from scholars who have taken art, but rather from scholars who enjoy making them.

The Death of Man
The Death of Man
The Great Idea that caught my attention was man. However, I didn't want to represent the good of man, but rather the evil of it. My art centers around a tombstone with the words, "HERE LIES MAN... Beloved Saviors DESTROYERS of Humanity." The background is a city reflecting itself with cracks running through it. The red cracks throughout the piece are there to represent the bloodshed and wars of man. The main tombstone is surrounded by smaller ones, with either a vice or virtue of man, the ones with vices being more highlighted. The tombstones with virtues on them have red cracks, showing how they were destroyed and the ones with vices further show how everything in man can lead to destruction. Therefore this piece portrays how man can poison man.

When the Bombs Fell
When the Bombs Fell
Uranium fever. The darkness. The unknown. Radiation.
The only difference is that, unlike a rabbit, or a deer, or a bear, or a Deathclaw. Humans have the ability to rapidly adapt to their situations. Sometimes in very strange ways. Within this series, my characters explore an alternate world in the dawn of a nuclear apocalypse. In this first picture. ‘William’, madly waves his marksman's rifle over the distant sight of blossoming mushroom clouds. In the next drawing, ‘Nikolai’ walks cheerfully with his AK 101 slung over his back. Looking for a place to bed down in the ruined town of Wither’s Pass.

Mainly what I focused on was fate. This I tried to show both through the “red string of fate” and through the idea of divination/fortune telling. In this drawing the red string of fate doesn't have a romantic aspect, more of leading someone to their grave. I also tried to show the fortune tellers “experience” or “talent” (so to say) in divination through their calm reaction to the dead body on the table, right next to their little all knowing crystal ball.
