My senior piece has undergone a lot of change over the months. I had a clear vision for a large drypoint of myself, I had the pose and under drawings and I had even begun my drypoint and test prints. Coronavirus changed my, and many others, senior project. I switched to a new composition (although the same idea of body positivity) and experimented with multiple mediums such as water color, oil paint, digital, and pen. I settled for pen since it’s most similar to my original design.

My piece explores my growth through the years and my journey towards finding peace with myself and my life. Plants from my room frame the drawing and add life to the pen work.
