This image was created using vector, every shape is a different layer. Organizing everything and deciding on colors was difficult. 

For this assignment we were to create a newspaper layout using the logo we created in class, I went with a cup theme for mine. 

For this assignment I had to create a logo that would catch your eye. I decided to go down the road of making the word into the shape of the object it correlates to. 

This was an assignment for my digital tools class, I created a nerve cell with the center being earth, and lighting extending from the ends to signify how all life is interconnected. 

This is a magazine layout I created for my ARTT116 course, featuring two drawings I created to interpret the sexism described in an article, showcasing that is still prevalent in today's society. Women are seen as sexual objects, referred to by the placement of the colored straps on the face, breast, and legs. 

I have taken many art courses in my community college, and I am on track to transfer to the University of Maryland next fall. I have taken a dozen of mixed 100/200 level courses in order to find my path. I am currently enrolled in a level 100 graphic arts course as well as a level 200 studio course, and next semester my schedule will be filled to the brim with courses to prepare me for transfering. I love being challenged by my professors and peers to go outside my comfort zone when creating. You never know if the next push will launch you into something beautiful, until you try it.

My main goal in life is to be able to have a career in which I get to pursue my passion for art, and have that positively impact those around me. I wish to be able to inspire others through my work, and be inspired. For me, art is about conveying messages and emotions. I have found that sometimes I am unable to put my thoughts into words, and instead I create art to express myself. 

The body of a woman is not made for pleasure, it is made to harness life. 

Pineapples and fruit bats. 

Part of my “combined animals” series I have been working on, it's fun to imagine creatures not in our realm of possibility. 

My first ever white pencil on black paper drawing. This turned out better than I was expecting.
