VISUAL ART & DESIGN

Digital Art & Graphic Design

Paint & Multimedia

Pencil & Pen Work

Personalized Gifts

I am a self-taught visual artist and digital designer with sound-to-color and text-to-color synesthesia. My experience began in the eighth grade and during that year, my online art gallery was one of three that were featured in art classes across Cobb County schools for educational use. I have not taken another class since yet have been determined to maintain my craft and continue progressing over time. Here are samples of my work with Digital Art, Graphic Design, Paint, Multimedia, Pencil/Pen, and Personalized Gifts.

Digital Art & Graphic Design

The Golden Girls

(3/11/22)

Bliss

(3/11/22)Synesthesia Art

Bliss Eric Whitacre

This song by Eric Whitacre causes me to see various shades of orange, purple, and an extremely pale blue (almost white). The image is an abstract depiction of person with wings "flying to paradise."

NiGHTS vs. Reala

(8/9/23)

Here is a fan-redraw of the characters, NiGHTS and Reala, from the video game franchise, NiGHTS Into Dreams.

Studio Ghibli with Fiona Garner

(5/7/24)

These are birthday and graduation gifts to a close friend. She loves Studio Ghibli movies, so I made two images of her with some of the Ghibli's most notable characters.

Vogel im Käfig

(3/20/24)Synesthesia Art

Vogel Im Kafig - Hiroyuki Sawano.mp3

This song by Hiroyuki Sawano from Attack on Titan gives off shades of blue, green, and a hint of orange. The title translates to "bird in a cage," so I drew a bird flying toward freedom.

Carrington Cobb Portrait

(4/9/21)

This minimalistic design was a Birthday gift to a close friend. I included the Aries symbol since she likes zodiac signs.

Tanh1

(8/9/23)Synesthesia Art

Tanh1 Hiroyuki Sawano

The key of this song by Hiroyuki Sawano has hues of blue, green, and purple, and the image of a phoenix bird comes to mind when hearing the track, thus, I depicted a blue phoenix.

Zawadi the Lioness (OC)

(6/8/20)

This is an original character stylized after the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. She is a Kenyan lioness who can harness the power of the sun and is most likely good friends with Blaze the Cat.

Paint & Multimedia

Butterfly Blu

(6/5/24)

This is a memorial painting displayed at the funeral for my grandmother and legendary singer/performer, Peggi Blu. The painting is all-blue, hence her last name, and since she loved butterflies, I crafted and added some in her hair.

Carrington Cobb

(5/6/24)Synesthesia Art

The portraits above and below are inspired by my text-to-color synesthesia as a Mother’s Day gift to my mom (bottom left) and Birthday gifts to two close friends (top and bottom right). All three works are based on the colors I see when reading the letters of their names.

Pencil & Pen Work

Tek It

(3/12/24)Synesthesia Art

Tek it - Cafuné.mp3

This song by Cafuné sits right in between the keys of A-flat and A-natural, so the hues from both blend together. I even saw colors that I don't normally see, like magenta. The retro/alternative genre of this song also made me think of a roller skater in outer space.

(3/17/24)

This is a re-draw of the characters, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen, from the television series, Adventure Time.

Jordan Lange Portrait

This trio of sketches was a Sweet 16 present for a dear high school classmate of mine. They are all connected to a firm structure on the back so that it can hang up in her room.

Bored

(7/5/24)

In college, whenever I was bored or tired, I would lay on my bed like this. The art style here is simple except for the background, which represents idle mind-wandering.

Original Characters

Here are a few original anime magical-girl character designs created just for fun.

Hydruman

(2/24/17)

At first, I didn't really know where I was going with this piece, but the design makes me think of a human who could maybe transform into a hydra.

(5/18/17)

An AP World History project required me to create a 20-panelfictional comic (which I misread as 20 pages XD) over one of the topics we studied over the course of the year. I chose to create a story set in Ancient Egypt. This would later be adapted into an in-progress stage musical concept.
