Hispanic Heritage Month

- December 14, 2019

This is my piece for National Hispanic Heritage Month. The painting was meant to represent Hispanic culture and appreciation. In drafting the idea of this painting, I researched historical Hispanic paintings and celebrations. Then, I tried to includes these things with my own style of painting. I used a lot of warm hues such as reds, oranges, yellows. I really liked how the painting came out. However, I could improve on the skin tones and the painting of the dog. Also, the wheat before the sunflower could how painted a bit better.

HeadSpace

- January 27, 2020

I named the painting/collage HeadSpace because the main message of the piece is having a safe space to go to you-re stressed or sad. The past couple of days I have been going through a rough patch in my life and having a safe space to rely on has been very helpful. The background of the painting is very colorful and old liking because I love vintage pieces whether it's clothing or artwork and its very colorful because I love using color in my work. The paper flower next to me represents my love for nature and wildlife. The person facing the wall is me and the reason why I have a fishbowl over my head is because I love marine biology.
