This personal piece, created for my AP Art Portfolio class, was inspired by the tarot card, The Tower.

This diptych is part of a series of works I’ve made by leaning into observing minute detail and finding playfulness in everyday forgotten objects.

This artwork was inspired by my favorite holiday memories at home.

This artwork shows how human warmth is slowly fading in a world ruled by digital precision.

In Under the Surface, I want the viewer to realize how pollution, especially oil spills, affects sea life.

My piece reflects the quiet joy and tranquility of nature.

This painting depicts a woman smoking a cigarette underwater, acting as a metaphor for the desperate and dangerous lengths addicts will go to.

The lionfish, the central figure of my painting, has always captivated me- a creature both elegant and lethal, graceful yet dangerous.

This artwork is about the connection between the ancient past and the future in which our present will become ancient.

In this artwork, I used the trumpet creeper, whose flower language includes ‘waiting.’

This piece, Refuge, acts as a reflection on escapism, indifference, and privilege – ideas I have been grappling with during my years in high school.

For this piece I covered generational trauma and the concept of plastic surgery as a graduation gift.

For years I struggled to find art that represented my experiences with my gender identity.

Balancing the chaos of senior year often made it difficult to find time to draw, yet drawing had been my refuge since I was three years old.

I simply liked the colors.

My concept for this piece came from my hopes for what my future will look like and how I am trying to shape it for myself.
