The Dream / Graphite / 10 cm x 15 cm
Blush pink wood panels hug a full frame of tall ceilings, sectional couches, and fireplaces. In her dream, grass reaches her ankles, a mountain towers over her shoulders, and trees are the envelopes to her love letter of life. The sketch shows what her life could be, not what it is. The letter concerns sightings of black bears and crème brûlée coffee in the frosted mornings. The envelope is not yet sealed.
Growing Up Pt. 2 / Acrylic Paint / 22.5 cm x 30.5 cm
Inspired by Sandy Welch's "Rose' on a Summer Day" painting. The second attempt at a rose being held in a vase. The main focal point is the rose, but the rest is a chaotic blur. With a mess of color and brushes, the painting is now abstract rather than impressionist or realistic. This is an accurate representation of how we grow up and change ourselves both mentally and physically.
Growing Up Pt. 3 / Acrylic Paint / 22.5 cm x 28.5 cm
Surrounded by Love / Acrylic Paint, Ceramic Plate (airdry clay) / 8 cm x 8 cm x 1 cm

Summer into Autumn / Acrylic Paint, Tinsel / 33 cm x 23 cm
Paintings of flowers, symbols, and cityscapes cover the paper to show the transition from summer into autumn.
Calla Lily / Charcoal / 41.5 cm x 25.5 cm
The flower symbolizes beauty, rebirth, and union. The smudged charcoal piece is meant to show what the flower represents, with that, a connection to nature. Nature can demonstrate identity, with certain plants representing one's traits. The two girls standing next to each other symbolize friendships and love, another factor in one’s identity. The Earth’s most precious beauties are what shape an identity (humans and nature).
Seasons of Identity / Watercolor / 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm (x5)
A forest of rich trees surrounds a soft, brown pathway. The colors are muddy and realistic. This piece consists of five paintings that all have different qualities. Some are bold, and some are more reserved. Each painting’s difference represents the changes in my identity. Seasons change drastically, but keep the same grounds, which can represent humans perfectly.
Solitude / Acrylic Paint on Canvas / 35.5 cm x 28 cm
A splash centered in the water with full trees surrounding the lake represents a feeling we all get: being surrounded but not necessarily close. There are around 3 trillion trees in the world, and they stand at this number because they hold each other together with their roots. Many people treat nature as if it isn’t the priority, when we are the same as that oak tree.

Change / Acrylic Paint / 30.5 cm x 22.5 cm
