Latest work


Right now, I’m just glad that I’ve submitted my application and portfolio for Skidmore. That being said, I have to expect to apply to other schools, so I will continue my portfolio work until I’ve filled other portfolio requirements. I’m really excited about where this new piece is headed. When I looked at examples of how to speed up my pieces, the fairytale approach really stood out to me. I love princesses and fairytales, so when I started creating my background collage of silver, violet, dark and light blues, an image of Cinderella came to life in my head. With such a busy background, I might stick with something simple, like her pumpkin carriage. This way I can use orange and white, (maybe even have it in mid transformation!), to separate it from the background, but also display my use of line. I’m curious to see if I can add sparkles. It would be added around the edges of the transforming pumpkin to give it a magical effect. For my next piece, I’m thinking of using another idea from the article of portfolio pieces, and stain a canvas with one color, while using that same color to work with the lights and darks. I have a decent amount of people in my portfolio already, so I’ll have to think of a different subject to make it stand out. Lastly, Pj wants me to paint a scene from outerspace for his room at school, so I’ll have to squeeze that one in during my free time. Thanks Smitty for helping me with my portfolio process!
