AP Drawing Concentration 2010-2011

The beauty of plant life inspired me to explore their characteristics. In developing my work, I emphasized color, positive and negative space, value, and shape. Through the use of these elements, I make sure to portray the plant so that my work captures its unique characteristics. Plants are extremely diverse, giving me unlimited options to explore throughout my concentration.

Artist Statement

Everyday life and objects inspire me to create artwork. I and the world around me are always evolving, affecting my art in a major way. Through my artwork I hope to convey that a person can find something interesting in anything around them at all times. Every piece of art I create is a learning experience for me. After every finished piece, I know what I should continue doing and what I should improve or change for my next piece of art.
