The botanical is called “In Loving Memory”. I chose it because chrysanthemums are a common funeral flower given to those in mourning. It is significant as I lost my great grandfather when I was young and don’t remember much about the funeral aside from these flowers. In many cultures, these flowers represent a long life and rebirth as well as devoted love.

The still life is just called “The Storyteller” after my Papa. When I was young I spent a lot of time at my great grandfathers house, sitting on his porch listening to his stories. He always wore his hat from his sons (my grandfathers) quick stop, had a pocket watch hanging from his pocket, and smoked from his pipe. His favorite drink was Moxie, which I remember him always having an ice cold bottle of at his side. His stories are my favorite childhood memories that I get to hold onto even though he is gone.

This piece I would like to call tangled. it is a “skins” sculpture, where the piece must be covered in another object(s). this was made using my hand sculpted out of cement and wrapped in vines and moss. I sculpted this using a molding mixture and filling in the mold with cement. I held my hand in a position to seem as if it was reaching for something. I then precisely wrapped vines and moss around the sculpture to create a feeling of the hand being held back. I believe this piece turned out fantastic looking like it would perfectly fit into a garden of some sort while giving an ancient but cottage core feeling.

This abstract art piece was inspired by an album cover from the band, “Foo Fighters.” The album cover is called, “The Colour and the Shape” and I think that the title describes what abstract art is well. I drew the shapes on the canvas, then filled them in with acrylic paint. I made sure to use different colors of purple / blue in the background to show how different pictures of this album online look blue, while others look purple.

I replicated a picture I took on my phone of this coastline in 2018. I thought this was a great landscape to paint, since it had so many interesting parts. From the umbrellas on the beach, to the texture of the clouds, it was a great way to get me to be become more fluent in painting. I used acrylic paints, and painters tape (to get the line between the water and the sky).
