Picnicing in the Park

A big shout out to the grill masters for making our picnic complete!

Kevin did a great job fixing my hair for me.He soon learned that doing girl hair is much more complicated than it looks.

Boys and their food...gotta love it.

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is a great book. Someone should write a sequel called, If You Give A Boy A Hamburger

The guys playing Twister

This is my ode to Kara. Kara is one of the most wonderful, caring and gorgeous girls I have ever met. She is a great listener, so talented, ridiculous and GORGEOUS. And I got to live with her! I don't what I would have done if I was never able to meet this girl. I am so glad I got to spend the summer with her before she gets married. YIKES! How exciting.

You are still mine though. :)

I had to put this is the ode to Kara because the handsome man to my left is Kara's awesome boyfriend. The guy to my left is also awesome. He fixes bikes and is very nice to me. Thanks Christian.

Being home on the East Coast is magnificent.

Being home without oil paints is torture.

I have therefore taken it upon myself to explore the arts in other such ways. My recent project has consisted of making little paintings with acrylic paint and making them into cards. Departure from my traditional oils is quite difficult but they do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Is this true? We will find out. Anyways, this new project gives me a chance to explore different compositions while not taking too much time on any one painting. I also decided my bed needed a little flair of color so I made a pillow for it. I could spend all my time doing little projects like this. Get excited because you will be seeing items such as these sold at my future cafe/gallery Tianellie's.

That is all.

Thank you.

Flow Of Change

This is the beginning of my new series of work. It is quite different from what I have ever concentrated on before, but I have greatly enjoyed being pushed into uncomfortable situations by my teachers. I am convinced that you learn new things ten times faster when pushed out of the area you are used to performing in. One must persevere however.

There is nothing as constant as change. This series has to do with the changes that occur in life, in the body and in nature. I have chosen to portray this topic in a "flowing" manner. I use organic shapes to demonstrate the movement of change and colors that I feel best demonstrate certain aspects of change. There is more to be said but the rest is for you to interpret yourself.

Or. I just haven't written up my entire artist statement yet. Stay tuned.

Layers

This was a piece I did in my Freshman drawing class. It was what first got me interested in using layers of different materials.
