This drawing is of a dog baring its teeth at a vet appointment. It uses a near-monochromatic red color palette. This drawing is a metaphor for someone's emotions being invalidated and silenced by others. I made this drawing to challenge my ability to visualize different kinds of emotions, this one being anger and frustration.

This features a girl attempting to sip alcohol from a glass. The values are bright, which creates a sense of overexposure and contrasts significantly with the dark shadows. This painting represents a person who believes they are in control of their poor drinking habits, blissfully unaware of the chaos and harm they are causing.

This is a painting of a meat platter that I had with a friend of mine on a trip. Although the meaning of this painting is fairly shallow, I created it with the intention of practicing texture and fine details. 

This painting captures three girls waiting at a train stop. They are going out to a party, as hinted by the objects they are holding and the ones surrounding them. The purplish-blue color palette and faceless composition evoke excitement and mystery. I made this painting to challenge my knowledge of perspective, color theory, and storytelling.

This drawing features leaves, flowers, and a dragonfly. I made it in an illustrative style featuring lots of textured lines and circles. The color palette is very bright and happy. I made this painting at the beginning of spring, inspired by the nature popping back up around me. Because most of my art is realistic nowadays, I wanted to go back to my stylistic techniques.

This illustration was inspired by the song "The Wind" by P.J. Harvey. The song has eerie, mysterious themes. I chose to represent this by depicting a chapel floating on an isolated piece of earth. The song compares the sound of whales to the sound of wind blowing, and I used the same symbolism in my piece.
