Daruma Doll Pattern Collection

Daruma dolls are traditional Japanese dolls that symbolize perseverance and good luck. The dolls come with blank eyes that you fill in. You draw in one eye when you make a wish or set a goal, and then fill in the other eye once that wish or goal has come true. I first encountered Daruma dolls when I visited Japan in 2015 and loved their quirky appearance so working on this project was really fun. I drew this little guy in Adobe Illustrator and created several color variations for a fun and fresh contemporary look. Pattern Design | Spring 2020 [...]

47th Annual Juried Student Show

Happy to announce my tintype 'Enola' was accepted into JSU's 47th Annual Juried Student Show. This tintype and case were all made by me. The image is a dry plate tintype of my grandmother created using a digital negative. The case and matt were laser cut and engraved and assembled by hand.

Mural Concept for Kitty Stone Elementary

Kitty Stone Elementary was looking to create a more "welcoming, inspiring, inviting, colorful and kid-friendly" atmosphere by incorporating a mural into their entry hall. Students in my pattern design class created three patterns each and were then instructed to share their patterns with classmates so students could create mural designs featuring patterns from the class. I didn't want the mural to be too overwhelming so I chose to use only a handful of patterns from the class. My design focuses on bright colors and large bold shapes to create an exciting space. My mural design was one of the designs [...]

Chemigrams: Beautiful Little Mysteries

Chemigrams are an experimental art form made by chemically manipulating light-sensitive paper. These were made using a variety of resists that include common kitchen and household items such as eggs, butter, jelly, cooking spray, sunscreen, dish soap, and tape. The resists are applied to the paper while the paper is being exposed to light and then moved back and forth between developer and fix until the desired result is achieved.
