Artist statement:

For this project I had to choose an image to transfer onto scratchboard and then I had to scratch it out. I chose to do an image of my dog because I thought it would be a challenge because of all the different greys in the photo. Some challenges I came across in this project was getting her fur right and all the different kinds of grey. The story behind the image I chose was I was taking photos of the puppies my other dog had, and daisy mae (the one in the photo) was happy so I decided to capture the moment. This relates to my life because this is my dog in her happy moment, and I have happy moments all the time but most of the time, they're not captured like this. If I could change one thing it would be the different greys and the way I made her fur look because it looks nothing like the photo. Something that I think is strong about this image is the nose and her eyes.
