Memories
Acrylic on Glass, Paper Collage
28" x 36"
The inspiration for my piece came from my desire to portray how my memories are to me, and I tried to do that through a series of photos of flowers that I planted with my dad when I was younger. I also used photos of members of my family. I’m so excited to be part of this great fundraiser and I enjoyed every minute I spent creating my piece.

A lot of people seem to picture their anger, sadness, or anxiety as something dark or scary. I didn’t want to fear my emotions so much as make friends with them and whatnot, so I decided to picture my negative emotions as a cuddly rabbit. Thusly, here is a window to my psyche. This piece was a lot of fun and I am so glad to have been a part of this fundraiser.

The Lake
Ceramic, Clay, String, Acrylic on Glass
I grew up on a lake until I was ten. It had beautiful night skies and sunsets. In summer there were daisies covering all of the ground. I wanted to capture that memory in this piece.

Evolution
Acrylic on Glass
This project gave me the chance to create something for a greater good. Through this, I was able to feel good about my work, not for its aesthetics, but for the community benefit. For inspiration, I thought about all of my life hurdles and how I felt during and after them. Through this thought process, I developed the theme of light and dark. In my piece, black and navy blue fades and evolved into pink and white. This shift in color symbolizes the change in emotion, etc., through difficulties. Paraphrasing this concept, "Out of darkness, comes the light." I feel that this theme coincides with the charitable and life-changing work that Windows of Youth helps to support. To me, this work is meaningful not only symbolically, but it is also beneficial to the community. Thank you, Windows of Youth, for this opportunity.

I wanted to create a piece encompassing how hard it can be to live an ecofriendly lifestyle in our country. I used the iconic female bathroom symbol formed by constrained leaves to embody this idea. The jail bars nod towards the unrealistic expectations of society in our fight to live a greener lifestyle.

Seeping Through
Acrylic, Oil, and Sharpie on Glass
You can always see through to the other side. No matter how rough things are, there is a window of opportunity. I chose to display plants and wildlife. When I am in nature, I feel calm and peaceful.

State of Dreaming
Oil on Canvas with Mirror Shards
20" x 24"
I created this piece with the hope of depicting the abrupt transition from a ‘state of dreaming’ to an unfortunate awakening. Not shattered dreams, per se, but the realization that reality is never as perfect as we might hope or imagine.

Following traditional moral concept, the contrast of black and white is intended to represent a battle of right versus wrong, in this case, a personal moral conflict. However, the use of images that contradict their given color morality is with the intent to show how we wrongly categorize the actions or thoughts of ourselves and others as right or wrong, through the warped process of moral justification.
