2023 Submissions
Cuauhtli u kuxtal
I started by drawing my design on paper and tracing that onto the scratchboard.
Late in the Night
I wanted to depict the stress behind life, especially as a high school student.
Time for Change
It is abstract art but the message it conveyed to me was time was changing.
Bead and Cup
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).
Fantasy for a Deluge
I was inspired to sketch this piece after spending time with friends at SOMA in San Francisco.
Mind of a Doctor
Using encaustics I wanted to show the contrast between pastel colors and eerie themes.
Thriving Colors
As I looked back at my past photos, I came across a portrait of my friend holding flowers up to her nose.
Eye of the Beholder
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.
From Death
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.
