This pen drawing is of the dry flowers on the right. Purple and blue hydrangeas.

English Guitar: This painting was a thank you gift to an English teacher being let go. He always inspired different artistic outlets; whether musical, visual, or writing. They say a picture is worth a thousand words; A collage of Poe, The Raven, Fahrenheit 451, Italy (He was in charge of the Italian trip), and a guy walking in the rain (he sang and one of his songs was thank you for the rain) is a year worth of memories in one painting. I mentioned music, before vacations he would play his guitar, hence it is painted in the shape of a guitar. This piece represents memories, gratitude, and artistic outlets.

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 16inx20in

Distracted Life: So this is my painting in the process of being done, I have the skull, eye, and hand left

Stars and Lights: I created this for a breadth section piece, I used a filter on a pictue of my friend and added camera flairs to her as well as the background. I also made some funky shape and lowered the opacity to see through them.

Medium: Digital

Size: 16inx20in

Freshmen year of Pemaquid Light House at dawn

Scratch Board of the ocean

I did this for my grandfather's 70th birthday

Pre-AP work of a miniature Christmas still life, scaled, and done with colored pencil.

A birthday present for the Janet, I sort of love the whole monochromatic-star-and-sky-thing

Freshmen year we had to draw a picture of a soda can and bag of chips, after eating and drinking them of course, mine were Crush and Cheetos.

An ornament that I painted to resemble Edward Hopper's style.

You'll see this mural in the cafeteria, I painted this in art club my freshmen year. I'm sad it will be destroyed in a couple years, with the new school. It has a lot of memories. I painted part of the background and the musicians.
