Art projects, art, artsy things…
“Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder.” – Mason Cooley It’s been a month or two and even though I uploaded to other social media, I did not do the official posts for February and March’s digital drawings. So here we are. As a refresher: 12 Month Digital Art Challenge Create at least one digital art piece every month during 2019 Share on social … Continue reading 2nd & 3rd Month – Art Challenge
“Be the kind of person who dares to face challenges and overcome them rather than dodging them.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart As a child, creating art via Paint was always a thing. I didn’t realize how limited that program was until I got a tablet and pen to work on projects within the Adobe Suite. There was a learning curve, … Continue reading 1st Month- Art Challenge
While searching for autumn inspiration, I found a set of water colored plants that were being sold individually as PNG files. The idea was that they could be combined into multiple art pieces through a computer editing software. Though these files were unpurchasely expensive, I thought it might be cool to use a similar technique to create my project. THE PAINTING PROCESS Initially I intended … Continue reading Fall Greetings
The drawing instructor gazed at us with a smile spreading across her lips. “Create an imaginary world,” she said, enticing our imaginations. What was not as enticing, however, was the hundred sixty eight hours and twenty four inch papers we had to complete the assignment. Given that mermaids would be the easiest subject for me to draw, I settled on an underwater world in watercolor. My friends in … Continue reading Twenty Six Hour Drawing
” We have a gig for you … A client needs a logo made… Interested?” “Yeah!” And that’s how I ended up with the challenge of creating a logo for the Makhra Solar Company. Problem: they needed the logo done within less than 24 hours! A drawing from the client was forwarded as an i-phone screenshot. I was also told that they would like a second logo option. They … Continue reading Environmental Smoothie Child and the Magic Bean
A couple days ago during a meeting, I looked up and met the smiling gaze of the instructor. “Good, I’m glad to see that you are taking notes.” But I wasn’t taking notes… oh, I am such a horrible person! In 1st ,2nd, all the way till high school, it was considered wrong. A distraction. Getting caught meant a blood red name up on the … Continue reading Forbidden
A couple of weeks ago, I offered to help Your I.T. Essentials with their logo. Someone had previously drawn a sketch but the design needed to be digitalized. Having a digital pen made the process a whole lot faster. In fact, it didn’t take long to outline. The outcome was promptly emailed to Y.I.T.E along with several screen shots of the process. They were happy with … Continue reading Your I.T. Essentials
Throughout the ages, people have concerned themselves with appearances and the illusion of a perfect human form. Beauty, however, is a fleeting frame of mind. What was once considered attractive is no longer main stream today. Of course, this seems obvious. Fashion, make-up and hair styles change constantly… but so does the idealistic human form. I hadn’t really thought about this until recently while visiting … Continue reading The Portrayal of Human Beauty Through the Eyes of an Ancient Artist
In art class, we were asked to paint something. Anything. Hardly any instruction given at all. Well, painting portraits with Photoshop seemed to be working out. Why not? My roomate, a fine arts major, sure makes it look so easy. The way she turns color and paper into seemingly effortless master pieces. It couldn’t be too hard. I dipped my paintbrush into a mixture of … Continue reading From 12 to 21
Went camping along the Lake Leman. By camping, I mean staying in cabins not too far from the water’s edge. On our first night there, Grace and I sat on one of the docks along the shore. Being there reminded us of another lake in a country far, far away. We talked about life and whatever else flooded our minds at the time. Both being interested in … Continue reading Night on the Lac Léman
Saw this image while cleaning out the hard drive. It’s of my favorite display at the Centre Georges Pompidou: Shadow Play by Hans-Peter Feldmann. It’s basically composed of little figurines casting shadows on the wall as they rotate on a disc. You can just sit there and watch it for hours. It’s kinda funny under what circumstances I ended gazing up at this display. We were supposed to spend the … Continue reading Shadows Dancing on the Wall
A week or so ago, I helped Kae film a choreography she’d been working on. Being the first film project in a while, it was a little rough. Guess that’s actually because I’d never filmed with a 50mm Prime lens before. The result is not so bad though. Kae actually did an awesome job at editing and of course, her routine is fabulous! LOVE it! It’s kinda funny that … Continue reading Twirl Me

No, I haven’t quite wondered into street art yet – but digital art is something that I’ve been trying my hand at recently. This is the first project I worked on. It was really an eye opener for how difficult digital art really is.Guess it looks ok – but certainly premature with all the leading lines and stuff. Next, I decided to redo AlleyCat, a … Continue reading Murals on the Wall

Here goes to DAY2 of shooting midnight pictures at Lake Hennessey. This time it was seven of us on a Friday night after vespers. We didn’t go onto the main dock because a group of fishermen beat us to the spot. Instead we parked by the side of the rode, went through a gate and walked down a path to the water’s edge. Having been … Continue reading Midnight of the Magic Flashlight
Over spring break Zach, Kelanie and I found a magical field of grass. We spent the afternoon running up and down the hillside. We spent most of our time taking pictures. While the sun was high in the sky, we used reflectors to light each other. As golden hour rolled in, we used the reflectors as props. I ran out of card space and Kelanie … Continue reading Faceless Reflections

For my portraiture class, we were supposed to recreate a well-known image. I chose to do Lady with an Ermine. I asked Amanda to help me out with the project. She is usually helping me behind the camera, but this time she would be in the spotlight. After doing a little research, I found out that a lot of people mistook the ermine for a … Continue reading Lady with an Ermine

This past weekend I was kayaking with my friend Zach when we came upon a peculiar sight. There was a house floating in the middle of the river! What a crazy sight for sure! The house looked abandoned except for the solar panels on the roof top. Zach and I where like “Oh, what a nice location to make a film!” but upon closer investigation, we saw signs that … Continue reading Floating American Dream
I recruited my roommate Cheyenne to help me out with a film/digital project. In between studying, I did her hair and makeup. The carnival inspired eyeliner and hair bow made her look like a little kid. Had her dress in a pretty blue dress, got some baloons and we were ready to go! The point of the photoshoot was to capture angel lighting on film, but I decided to take advantage of … Continue reading Making Dreams in Film and Digital

Recently I was inspired to create this new profile picture for my photography: Inspiration was from one of Nina Pak’s picture’s featuring a woman with a blue butterfly on her face. Unfortunately, the exact image has been removed from wordpress due to people posting it on their sites and crediting me as the photographer. I feel like my own picture needs to be cropped and … Continue reading Butterfly Girl
These are some group pictures that I’ve edited. Just randomly found them today and decided I’d post them up 🙂 This one is from Prom my senior year of highschool. This is from a friend’s 18th birthday and promise celebration. This is from another friend’s surprise birthday dinner. Continue reading Group Shots XD
I redited some pictures that I had taken for my Digital Photography Class during winter quarter. My first WordPress post actually has two of these images as I had turned them in to the teacher. During the photoshoot, I got to work with Erica and her horse Koda. It was the first time Erica had ever ridden bareback. We had a lot of fun, but almost had … Continue reading An Afternoon With Koda
Je me suis un peu ennuyé, j’ai donc décidé de jouer avec la lumière. Avec un petit montage, c’est le résultat. Je dois cesser de se coucher tard. Il n’est pas bon pour moi depuis que je suis à l’école. Cette photo a été prise il ya quelques jours à 3 heures du matin. Continue reading Jouer Avec la Lumière
So last night I went to the Cameo Theater in St. Helena for the PUC Showcase. Strangely enough, it is only the 3rd time I have EVER been in a theater! (And I’m a film student too!) Anyway this is one of the two films that I redited for the showcase. Enjoy! Continue reading Watching it on the BIG Screen!
Euryops yellow daisies in their natural environment, abstractly out of focus. Euryops yellow daisy in a cup of water. Sharply in focus. Notice the rainbow light outline on the upper right section of the cup. Beautiful reflections on the sides of the cup. Continue reading Daisy Do
In high school – we photography students were often sent out of class to capture the perfect image for Mrs. McAllister. Gezelle was my photo buddy – and for the sake of our pictures we did a bunch of crazy things; climbed fences, trees and even took the classroom outside. On this portraiture assignment – I decided that I needed a backdrop. I had my … Continue reading The Creatures
I had the pleasure of helping out with the True Beauty Retreat for 7th and 8th grade girls this weekend.It was soo much fun – and everyone got to dress up all fancy! Although I helped out in the kitchen for a bit – I wore this green prom dress and a beautiful apron that Amanda’s Grandma had given her. Little Bo Peep, don’t you … Continue reading Evolution of my Little Bo Peep Facebook Picture!
I grew up surrounded by walnut trees. Today as I looked through my old pictures, I found this one. It is of some young walnut buds. I remember the day I edited it on Paint to make the bubble effect. The picture makes me a little homesick for the rows of trees that stretched out around my childhood home. Continue reading Rainbow Bubbles
I had a friend take this picture using 1/4000 shutter speed. This is the final edited version. The rainbow colors add a bit of magic to the image 🙂 Continue reading Magic Water
The images you are about to see are SOOC. I took them for April fool’s day… to tell my friends on Facebook that I had befriended a spirit. Well… not really… because the spirit scared me so badly that I sort of passed out. And I was told not to tell, but it’s too hard not to share 😉 Continue reading Ghostly Sights
