My Artist Statement

     It's hard trying to describe what my artwork is about, but if I had to stick a word to it, it would be feelings. Whenever I am working on a piece, whatever emotion I am wrapped in at the time goes into it, whether I feel happy, sad, hopeful, angry, or depressed. Often enough, I create a work of art when my emotions are at their most extreme with the sole purpose of letting them out. Safe to say, if I am working on a project for several days, the theme of it changes several times, and I work hard to finish each piece of artwork quickly, before I loose the feeling it is based on, and have to start all over again.
   My subjects are often inspired by other peoples artwork. When I look at a painting or a drawing, I see a million different ways it could be reworked into something new and different, and I usually start my artwork by taking someone's theme and combining it with the different elements and emotions I want it to portray until it becomes something completely different and uniquely my own.

Alice Inspired

    This is the first project I completed in in my studio art class- well, half of it. -laugh- the whole thing is too big to be scanned in to my computer, and I don't have a camera with me... so here you go. It's all pencil right now, though I plan on coloring it in with watercolors later on.
I was thinking of Alice in wonderland when I drew this- that might be obvious......
