Anchor

 Anchor. White Earthenware Clay with Glaze. 2017.

This clay piece was made by overlapping circular pieces of clay over one another.  In the bottom of the bowl is a carved out anchor, surrounded by darker circles of clay.  I was inspired to give this piece a nautical theme.

Sky Blue. 2017

This is the first pot I have ever thrown on a wheel.  I glazed this pot light blue because it is one of my favorite colors.

Roses

Roses. White Earthenware Clay with Glaze. 2016.

This piece is a Greek pot made with coils and roses cascading down one side.  I made the flowers and leaves separately and then attached them to the pot.  I glazed the floral part red and green, and glazed the rest of the piece white.  I was inspired to do this because I enjoy flowers and gardening.

Spirit

Spirit. Watercolor. 2016.

This watercolor painting is a silhouette of myself from a picture that my dad took of me during a basketball game.  The red and green colors are our school colors and our school mascot is the Redmen, so I used an Indian pattern for the border.  The border and the outline of the silhouette is done in black crayon.  The rest is done in watercolor.  With this piece, I was trying to capture the spirit of our team.    

Twilight

Twilight. Soft Pastel. 2016.

This is a soft pastel painting of a picture my sister took at sunrise.  I used highlights and tones of different colors to try to accurately recreate the sky.  I used charcoal to make the fine branches of the tree.  With this piece, I tried to capture the quietness and stillness of the beginning of the day.
