My Jazzy

Jasmine is the subject of much of my work. This is a directional line pencil drawing that I did in my Sophomore year.

Popcorn

This charcoal drawing was completed in 2007, and measures 18x24". It is my first experience at rendering a very small object at a very large scale. I enjoy all the small details and hidden textures. Working larger than life is an approach that I continue to explore in my recent figurative work.

Veggies

Charcoal drawing from Freshman year. Interesting combination of elements that the instructor chose for this still life: vegetables in plastic bags and push pins on the wall.

Wood Carving

I laminated and hand-carved this wall hanging in my Sophomore year at Moore. It is inspired by two things. My love of the statues of Easter Island and everything African.

Perfume

This is the very last still life painting I ever did (2008). I used to enjoy painting glass and other reflective surfaces, but I grew tired of it.

Tropical Fruit Salad

I dabbled into the world of the abstract momentarily. This is my first attempt at abstract drawing. In this diptych, I experimented with various textures and making transitions from one texture to the next.

I love fruit. It makes me happy....:)

The patterns you see here are inspired by some of my favorites.
