DaydreamingMy artwork Daydreaming is about the experience of traveling and letting your mind stray away. Why I wanted to make a piece about daydreaming on the road was firstly because it is something I do often. I wanted to depict what it’s like on the outside and not so much on what’s in your head, to see the passing of world but in a dreamers way. Plus I had also wanted to paint on a record which added to the sense of music aiding in making a road trip.

Eminence in the GardenMy artwork Eminence in the Garden was made because God is a constant in my life that has inspired and motivated me throughout my works. Eminence in the Garden is about the story of God’s power, His power that reigns over every living creature. I wanted to show a simple picture of how all the things we see in life and the meanings we give them the stories we use for them have greater meaning in being told that they were created and made by a God who gives hope, courage, and wisdom just like the symbolism we give to Iris flowers. Or the palm leaves we symbolize for eternal life, peace, and triumph, again He brings all of those things. Lastly the storm has been a great symbolization for power, which God is and that’s why the hands are there, symbolizing that everything is under his control and that he holds it all.

Puppy LoveWhen I was in the thought process of this project it didn’t come to me easily so I turned to things I am confident in doing. The way Puppy Love came about was from my passion for dogs, I wanted to make something that can reflect the passion I have for them. That’s when I thought about my dog Lacy she is everything to me so making her my piece to focus on was exciting, which made my story behind this piece easier to make. What I wanted to show out of this piece is the love I feel for my dog while also having her show a loving expression, I wanted this piece to feel that way. Hence why this piece is called Puppy Love.
