My Portfolio
Komorebi Fairies
My art piece, Komorebi Fairies, is a mixed media piece showcasing a tree with sunlight rays spilling through the branches. In the rays, there are little fairies and pieces out of a storybook. The main element seen in the artwork is the use of pieces of paper that make a mosaic. My artwork is made from paint, color pencil, newspaper, chalk, paper, marker, and pencil shavings, as well as a gloss Mod Podge to hold everything down. I used a stencil print for the leaves and used my fingers to spread the yellow color of the sunbeams. The paper is torn-up newspaper stuff. What inspired my artwork overall was the Japanese word for komorebi, which refers to the phenomenon of light filtering through the trees from sunlight.
Stars Hollow
My art piece, Stars Hollow, is an acrylic paint piece on a medium pumpkin showcasing a small town called Stars Hollow from the 2000s tv show Gilmore Girls. It shows a small town square as well as a diner. The main element seen in the artwork is the use of dark green colors in the nature. My artwork is made from acrylic paint. What inspired my artwork overall was the tv show and how nostalgic and lively the whole vibe of the show is. It's one of my favorite shows, and me and my mom relate to the main characters who are mother and daughter (Rory and Lorelai) and making this town on the pumpkin reminds me of the first fall that I ever watched the show.
KiwiLime
My art piece, KiwiLime, is an acrylic paint piece on a white canvas showcasing a macro image of a kiwi that kind of resembles a lime. The main element visible in the artwork is the contrast between yellow and various shades of green. My artwork is made from acrylic paint. What inspired my artwork overall was the spirituality and femininity behind the kiwi fruit. It's one of my favorite fruits, and it happens to be my family's favorite as well. The kiwi represents good news, healing, refreshment, and well-being, as well as love and sexuality in some cultures. One of the hard parts of this painting was blending the colors. I should have used medium as well as more water to make the paint spread and blend better. If I were to do this again, I would have chosen more detailed references since my painting originally was not supposed to be a kiwi-lime fruit.
My art piece is an acrylic paint piece on two sea shells. showcasing a landscape of a beach at different perspectives. The main element visible in the artwork is the blending of blues and greens and teals to make the water. My artwork is made from acrylic paint. What inspired my artwork overall was my love for the ocean ever since i was little. It's my favorite place to be and when i grow up i want to be a marine biologist so that i can learn more about it's creatures. the ocean is such a serenc landscape and when it comes to paintings of the ocean i knew i wanted it to be on a seashell. One of the hard parts of this painting was blending the colors.
