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.

Summer Vine

Summer Vine.  Porcelain Clay with Glaze. 2016.

This is a slab piece with a pierced floral pattern in each side.  I pierced the pattern of a vine because I really enjoy drawing and creating flowers.  The inside of the piece is a creamy white and the outside is a transparent light blue.

Art

Art. Ink with Colored Pencil and Aluminum Foil. 2016.

With this piece, my class and I got to practice our penmanship.  Ink and aluminum foil were used to create the letters and words.  Colored pencil was used on the border.  With this piece, I tried to express my interpretation of art.

Harvest. Colored Pencil

 Harvest. Colored Pencil on Paper. 2015.

This is an abstract colored pencil drawing of a combine in motion.  I chose to use a picture from my family's sorghum harvest.  The red milo is a nice contrast with the John Deere green combine.  I tried to capture the movement by drawing the last section of the combine several times, and by fading the color as each section gets farther away.
