fun!


This is a little illustration I did for class. I thought it would be cute if the umbrella was used as something to catch the "shower" rather than repel it. I used pastel pencils, and for some reason the colors are not as soft and light on the screen as they are in my original. And the piece still needs a bit of tweaking, but I thought I'd put it up anyways. Enjoy!

Transitions...


"Childhood is a strange country. It's a place you come from or go to- at least in your mind. For me it has an endless, spellbound something in it that feels remote. It's like a little sealed-vault country of cake breath and grass stains where what you do instead of work is spin until you're dizzy. " -Lyall Bush
This quote, as well as this piece, are part of the inspiration for my thesis. I'm brewing with ideas and am excited about the pieces to come!

TaTa Gala


I created this piece for the TaTa Gala- a show to raise money for breast cancer research. It was really great to see so many people create art for a good cause.

Sweet Dreams


This was part of a quick series of puppy illustrations I did. (See below) I played with watercolor, pen, and a bit of digital texture for these. This one will be part of Gallery 28. =)
