About Me

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Tennessee, with a BFA in art. I'm working on my portfolio for graduate school, and these are my projects from undergrad. I'm more a conceptualist than an aesthetician- My artwork is less about image, and more about object. I'm leaning towards minimalism and formalism right now, addressing the basic language of visual communication, like line, plane, color and shading, 2d and 3d. But I've addressed everything from humorous 'what if' animal situations to pottery in my journey as an artist. I hope some of these pieces make you laugh, and some of them make you think, but I really worked really hard on them all!

Charming


The challenge for this piece was to incorporate an image from art history, from my personal history, and from pop culture. So the black silhouette is the Rococo painting "The Swing", the man is my grandpa, and Opus the penguin and the Charmin logo are my pop culture references.
This piece is about 40 inches wide, and all the color is cut construction paper. The white is gesso.
