Talent Statement:

“I came up with this idea because of my last charcoal drawing. I had a fun time doing it, but I did not like the image I did. So I decided to change that. I took a photo I can look at daily! I have been doing art for 7 years. I love to do new things. Especially painting monochromatics. I just started to practice tattooing as well. I enjoy opening up your own world of beauty, and making it a masterpiece.“

“This piece was a commission of a friend’s dog done in April of this year. I’ve been doing art for as long as I remember and took art classes from ages 11 to 16 at Hall of Frames.

I enjoy drawing and clay sculpting, and have attempted painting, but my favorite medium is using pastels.

I have taken two classes at SWIC learning about the history of art and art of different cultures and have enjoyed both of them, and I would like to take classes in the future to learn how to create different types of art.”

“This was inspired by myself almost being late for class. I ran so fast it wasn’t even funny. At the time, I felt so embarrassed when I arrived to class out of breath. As for the papers that are flying out of my backpack, in the background, I didn’t realize my bag was open and a few things fell out as I was running. Looking back on the situation I personally found the situation funny, so I decided to draw what I imagined myself running to class late. Hope you like it.”

“It draws on one of my favorite art themes ever, the Danse Macabre. It’s a concept from the Middle Ages, which was often depicted by a skeletal figure dancing with several different people, obviously drawn as having come from multiple walks of life. The idea embodied by the Danse Macabre is that we are all simply dancing our way to the grave. I took that concept and twisted it into the Macabre Dance, choosing to draw a ballet dancer wearing a spiky crown and a fang earring, made up to look like a skeleton. The expression of hope on her face shows that one day, all people will be equal in more than just death.”

“This is my most intimate photo manipulation as it allows anyone to step inside my mind for a minute during COVID-19. The deadliest silent world as no lips is to be seen. Six feet away with a mask on means, you are covering our form of communication.

The isolation from frustration grew depression, regression, aggression.

Wear your masks, but PLEASE

Be patient.

Be kind.

We cannot hear you when you cover your mouth.

God Bless!”
