My Best Work
Blue Like the SeaAcrylic Brushes
Acrylic Paint 2016 Paintings 1 This was probably one of my favorite pieces because I got to paint abstract. That is my strongest suit for painting because I have been painting abstract pieces for a very long time. This piece was intentionally mad for my mother. While making this piece I felt free to paint whatever I wanted with a few boundaries. |
WaterfallPaint
Chipboard 2017 Advanced For this project I wanted to redo my first waterfall because I was not in love with it. I practiced painting rocks because the first try was terrible. I am glad I redid this because I now know what to do for realistic rocks. I can say overall that this paining was very well done and I learned a lot. |
Time to DreamPhotography
2016 camera This photo was taken in the town of Osceola, Iowa. I was doing a photo shoot for a different project, but I fell in love with the pictures themselves. How the sun was setting, inspired me to take this pictures of my model like this. I really love how everything evens out with the light to dark contrast. |
DaydreamPhotography
2016 camera When I took this photo I wanted it to be warmer and focused mainly on her. As I was editing, I realized I didn't need to do anything with it because I want my viewer to think about what she is reading and what she is thinking. I was inspired by the background because I have seen fun pictures like that off of pinterest. |
True Farm
Watercolor paint
tissue paper watercolor brushes 2016 Paintings 1 For this piece I was truly inspired my father, a farmer. He has always been a big influence in my life whether it be with the smallest decisions or one of the hardest decisions of my life. We own a 120 acre farm and this is of him harvesting a couple years ago. I used many different techniques for this particular piece but I think the one i used the most was wet on wet, that is where you get the paper wet and then paint, because it had the most effective reaction. My art is truly important to me because it is always something I find interesting or something I love deeply. Farming will always be important tome because it makes you think about others more than yourself. |
WindmillI Paint
Canvas 2017 Advanced I have always been in love with the way a windmill works. That inspired me for one of my final pieces because I love sunsets and I love watching windmills turn in the wind. I got the idea to do this project because I wanted something that you used to see on the farm. That was a windmill because we don't see a whole lot of them any more. If I could go back and repaint this I would use tape to make the straight lines super precise. |
Rusty SunsetPaint
Canvas 2016 Advanced Visual Arts For this piece I did a lot of sketching just to get the truck right. For the sunset I learned from Bob Ross. I had a lot of fun making this piece because I pushed myself to work hard on this one. If I could go back and change one thing, it would be the time that I spent on it. I would make sure my accountability and time were together. |
Door to the SoulAcrylic paint
Paint brushes 2016 Paintings 1 JessaBelle, my dog, inspired me to do this painting because she is always very playful.I wanted to show that through her eyes; the door to the soul. I love texture, for this project I used a little bit of texture. My art means the world to me because it shows who I am. It tells people about me and what I love. |
Eyes to the GalaxyDigital Art
2017 Photoshop For this p[project I used Photoshop and many different photos that I have seen on the internet. I got the idea of this project because I saw a lot of people that were in love. When someone is so in love they can look into their partner's eyes and see the universe. That means a lot to me and I feel that it was important because this is what everyone should see when they look into their love's eyes. |
