I can't remember when these were done, probably in 2007, the really awful one may of been done in 2005. I initially hated painting these still-lifes but now I think they're fun and I'm glad Mr. Gee challenged us to paint all these lines and shapes. Class: Painting I Professor: Gary Gee
Scanned some of my very first gouache and watercolor paintings/experiments. I'm hoping to reclaim some studio space in the house so I can work on some paintings this summer. I love playing with color. The blue star is from my color theory class and was done with gouache (2004). The other two are water color experiments from the one water color class I took at JSU (2008). There's nothing like looking at old work to help you realize how much progress you've made as an artist. lol
Cyanotypes (sun prints) made at an alumni workshop with Dr. Henricks awhile back. I love the vibrant blue color. It was fun to create these whimsical designs. I've been wanting to play with this medium again so I just ordered a couple of packs of sun print paper, aka nature print paper. I think the butterfly and dragonfly pair would be adorable in a little kids room. Dragonflies with Key Butterflies & Stars Artist Tools
My senior show project 'Liberty, Not Debt!' is finally set up. This project consists of an educational brochure, postcard, and website. The website is no longer online but here's a few pictures of my setup. This project was very research heavy. I spent almost the entire semester reviewing government budget reports and figuring out what all the terms meant. I printed way too many postcards which I gave out as take-aways at the show. Finally learned how to make graphs in Illustrator. Check out my awesome graph making skills below. Liberty Not Debt, brochure and postcard
Hauteur: Tea Branding & Packaging; 2010 This was a self-appointed branding/package design project I worked on during an independent study in graphic design class with Sharon Wasden. I was essentially designing my version of Starbucks for Tea.
