Artist Statement I have been interested in art
since I was in the sixth grade and now I have
gotten much better and absolutely love it. In
fact, in my freshman year I signed up for art one
and since then I have been enrolled in an art
class every year and now, I am in art three
honors and intend to be in art four next year. I
also joined art club and National Art Honors
Society my freshman and sophomore years, but I am
not currently enrolled in neither. All of my
artwork represents my interests in life or either
something I live by. A lot of times my artwork
tends to have the general theme of the south.
Being, I love my southern heritage, many of my
pieces include dogs, old barns in my photography,
and even really bright colors in some
pieces. For some of my future pieces, I want to
add more bright vivid colors, as well as pieces
that catch your eye. Furthermore, I want to pay
more attention to details, so it will make my
piece stand out and get the viewers attention. I
plan to implement some of these plans when I go
to college to become an interior designer. In
addition I plan to do personal art on the side.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever

• This is the only oil painting I have ever done
  and it is my favorite piece. When I was thinking
  of a subject matter I thought it would be nice to
  add something a little different and interesting.
  So, I decide I wanted to try oils and paint one
  of my favorite types of dogs a Chesapeake Bay
  Retriever. Although, it was hard I am glad with
  how it turned out.

Street Painting Design

• I worked two weeks straight on this piece and it
  paid off when it got selected to be chalked in
  the streets of downtown Raleigh. The details on
  this piece were exquisite and when it was painted
  on the sidewalk it looked two times better.

Shattered Image

• I created this piece my freshman year and it
  turned out to be one of my favorite colored
  pencil drawings. For my subject matter, I chose a
  horse raring back and diamonds to shatter the
  image. If you look closely every individual piece
  contrasts the color black or white. Also, this
  piece represents our school mascot and school
  colors.

Elongated Self Portrait

• This piece was one of the hardest in my opinion.
  I created this piece my sophomore year and had
  never worked with pastels in my life, so it was a
  challenge in many ways. Although, I was very
  happy in the end after it was complete. My
  favorite part about the picture, is the wild
  colors that this piece includes.
