My initial intention for this project was to honor where my inspiration comes from. Through this semester I created many pieces which are derived from nostalgia and the serene scenes I saw when traveling with my family as a kid. The idea of honoring my family for their support first was touched on in my […]

Core Studio 1: 2D – Project 3: Planning
For Project 3 I intend on continuing the framework with which I had been creating throughout this class. My focus in the beginning had been on bringing the essence of my sketchbook and expanding it figuratively and literally. I wanted to put these recurring characters and symbols onto a bigger composition, and to expand the […]
Core Studio 1: 2D – Get Started
As I intend on taking the iconic imagery from the Garden of Eden I researched directly from the bible. While I had known the gist of the story with Adam and Eve, I was unfamiliar with how Lilith engaged with them until doing research. I also thought about how similar the story of the Garden […]
Core Studio 1: 2D – Narrative Planning

Greater meaning which I have touched upon previously in conceptual pieces that involve performative aspects seem to be absent in pieces I’ve created in 2D mediums. I consider myself primarily a painter, but I […]

This process allowed Monet to see how sunlight or moonlight caused shadows and colors to change throughout the day. The sky behind the cathedral clues the viewer in to the […]

By combining found objects which are apart of our everday with otherworldly elements, I will take the viewer to a new a space. I’ve focused a lot on color and contrast between spreads in the book, but I […]
trip to the Brooklyn Art Library
Our trip to the Brooklyn Art Library provided instant inspiration for me. Being an avid sketchbook keeper myself, I was excited to see how others used the same book as each other. Sketchbooks can be a great test of how one uses space and color to illustrate an idea because of its size and portability. […]
Walking as Artist – Core Studio 1: 2D
Walking as an art form may seem unheard of at first, but taking something that was once a part of rituals and important ceremonies, and raising it to the status which it once had is something many artists have done. Marina Abramovic and Ulay take the mundane idea of running into one another and […]
