I started by drawing my design on paper and tracing that onto the scratchboard.

I made a painting of nature because it makes me feel happy.

It is abstract art but the message it conveyed to me was time was changing.

While creating this painting I wanted to put a lot of different colors in certain sections of the painting.

This artwork, entitled Snowkissed, is a vector portrait of my dog Romeo.

This piece was primarily dedicated to the harsh reality of war and battle, viewing a feudal Japanese samurai damaged harshly, his sword crumbling and his armor dirtied.

My process involved throwing a small cup piece, a form that is taller than what I am used to throwing on the wheel (I tend to enjoy plates, bowls, and other wider figures).

I was inspired to sketch this piece after spending time with friends at SOMA in San Francisco.

Using encaustics I wanted to show the contrast between pastel colors and eerie themes.

As I looked back at my past photos, I came across a portrait of my friend holding flowers up to her nose.

While the components of this piece (including a paper boat on a waterfall, which is flowing out of the pupil of an eye) may seem to hint at a deeper meaning, it is actually devoid of any.

I have always had a special place in my heart for nature.

I experimented with realism here for the first time.

Sometimes things work out ok.

It's very nice.

My still life painting, titled "From: Death" is a school project that is meant to represent how even in the most extreme surroundings, things still manage to grow and bloom where there is hope.

Art is a language, it's my love language, my expression and my thoughts.
