Space Needle

When I moved to Seattle in 2025, I found myself in awe of the new sights around me. Everything was vibrant and colorful -- though it was different than the Arizona sunsets I was familiar with. I used a color palette that reminded me of Arizona sunsets and digitally painted the Seattle Space Needle to give myself a glimpse of what it would be like to bring a little bit of the vibrant desert to Seattle.

Persephone, Sticks, and Mona

This is a digital painting of my three cats, who inspire me every day with the silly things they do and create. In this piece, I chose to study their faces and challenge myself to use a different choice of colors for a color study.

Betty and Jesse Hunter

This is a graphite piece on 9x12 paper. Someone once asked me, "What is love to you?" which inspired me to draw a memory of my grandpa and my grandma. My grandpa spent many, many years caring for my grandma through her health issues, even helping her walk again after suffering two strokes. He told her that he would take care of her and love her until the day she died. In September 2022, he fulfilled his promise when she passed, followed by him the very next day. What is love to me? Love is Betty and Jesse Hunter.

In High Spirits

This is a graphite piece on 18x24 paper. The idea of spirits has always interested me. I enjoyed the idea that there was a whole other life that we could not yet see. I wondered if any spirits were lonely, waiting for friends or family that had not yet joined them. This piece is for those who are waiting to be reunited with someone they love, knowing one day they will meet again.

Tied Up In Words

Death Brings Life

This is a digital painting of life in Arizona, where I was born and raised. Arizona experiences a lot of death due to it being so hot there, but nature finds a way of adapting by taking refuge in the bones of those who could not survive the harsh conditions of the desert.

True Colors

This is a piece I drew only with colored pencils on 9x12 paper. Flamingos have always fascinated me, especially with how they get their pink color though the food they consume. I began thinking how similar we are to flamingos in a way, where what we consume will make us show our true colors as well.

Come Out Of Your Shell

This piece is made with graphite on 18x24 paper. If I were an animal of any kind, I thought I would be a snail, as I had always imagined them as shy but durable with their tough outer shell. Though I do not know if this still holds for me, I would encourage anyone else who would be a snail to come out of their shell and see the world around them, thus why I made this piece.
