Wave 1

This is horrible photo but it demonstrates the movement of waves through a repetition of patterns and marks.

Water Three

This is the movement of water gradually falling

Water Two

This piece is meant to show how water continues to cause change and transformation in one cycle.

Water one

This first piece reminds me of the layers of water that come through the shore of a beach.

Art Education is...:: April 2007 :: Acrylic and Sharpie on Illustration Board

My poster project for my tech art class. Art Education is I believe an opportunity to peel off each layer in a student who possesses so much more than he or she may show. Each person creates different marks and has their own personal voice. To open up a way for them to show their mark just as a flower blossoms is the role of art education.

Warm night :: January 2007 :: Acrylic on Canvas and Paper

Somehow I wound up with these colors after attempting to try a blue cold night. It was extremely cold during these weeks.

Feet Dipped in Water :: 2006 :: Oil on Canvas

My feet dipping into the water showing the different challenges and daily struggles approaching me in this next phase of my life. The fact that I am even dipping my feet in the water shows the willingness to venture with faith in God, to see what is out there in His plan for me.

Rain Falling on Bridge :: 2005 :: Oil on Canvas

The figure walking across the bridge with the umbrella is walking through the rain to reach its destination where there are blossoms on the tree and the sun is shining. It emphasizes all the more how hope is always waiting after all trials. It reminds me of a song phrase, "In that darkness, I can see the light of hope alive in me"

Rain Falling on Field :: 2005 :: Oil on Canvas

Another painting of rain falling. I would imagine what the drops would look like as it falls against an object. This is more on the abstract side but I don't mind.

Rain on Flowers :: 2005 :: Watercolor on Canvas

I was becoming obssessed with rain. I hate rain. But I love the way it looks on windows. I began to imagine what this scene would look like and I came up with this.

Gazelles in Water :: 2004 :: Charcoal on Paper

Gazelles have long legs. I just loved the way it looked when it was sunk in water. The water stretched out their legs so much that they looked even longer.
