Adventure

Acrylic and Paper on Glass and Wood

28" x 58.5"

This piece definitely means a lot to me.  Being a junior in high school and actively thinking about my future is really scary, but it's also exciting.  I wanted to convey that excitement in this work.  Creating a hot air balloon out of a map of Brooklyn represents how I will (hopefully) be going off into a world filled with exciting new adventures.  And even though I will be starting a new chapter by myself, I will know I can always come back down.

Acrylic on Glass, Etched Glass

28" x 58"

While creating this piece I used masking tape to lay down a pattern and painted over it with acrylic, waiting until it dried before removing the tape.  Then I painted behind the pattern to illuminate the colors within it.  After this (on the front side) I put contact paper in the shape of buildings and laid down etching acid around them to make a faint effect.

Untitled
Acrylic and tishue paper on Glass
35.5" x 23"

When I hear about the window project, I wanted to do something bright and simple.  I love vintage designs and they were my inspiration for the actual painting on the window.  I wanted to keep the colors simple.  I used blues, white, and black to represent the colors of the sky.  I added tissue paper on the back to keep the tones on the design and to let some light through.  The designs were done freehand and painted with Acrylic.  The tissue paper was added after the paint dried.

Idealism is Innocuous

Acrylic, Glass Gel, Paper, Chain, on Glass and Wood

39" x 46"

This piece of art was created in 22 hours.  It's purpose is to explore ones inner thoughts on "What;s in the dark" and the light at the end of the tunnel.  It explores color in the darkness and underlies how one, under circumstances, may remain jovial.
