Every project is a unique experience, full of lessons and memories.” |
artist statement.To me, art is something i use to clear my mind, whether it's little doodles or a big project.. It helps me relax and it puts me in a great mood. Art is more than just a little hobby, or just something to do, or just an “easy A”, it's what i love to do and plan on doing for the rest of my life. I hope to be able to say that i love my job, and that i made it as a successful interior designer.. Or something along those lines.
I enjoy using pencil and acrylic paint, as much as the little details make me want to pull my hair out, i love trying to get my pieces realistic as possible and when they do come out the way i want them too, its an amazing feeling. I never thought i could do small details and make things look realistic until i took drawing and painting 2 when we did the furniture paintings, i did georgia O'Keeffe's painting “apple blossoms” and i didn't think it was going to turn out that good but i thought whatever why not give it a try. And i'm glad i did because that painting showed myself that i was capable of doing detail. I believe i grew a lot as an artist this year, i gave myself a lot of challenges and i'm glad they turned out successful. When i applied to MIAD there was no way i thought i was actually going to get in, but when i did i was extremely happy and grateful that the challenges i gave myself paid off. |
