Self Portrait
Charcoal, 2020
​
This is my first self-portrait. At 18 by 24 inches, it was the largest piece I had done at the time. I created a high contrast reference image using an extremely lit selfie, various images of curtains, and photoshop. I printed it out and it served as a stellar guide for my first major charcoal drawing.

Demon Barber
Charcoal, 2019
​
This piece is an homage to a favorite musical of mine, “Sweeney Todd”, an old horror musical about a murderous barber. I had discovered my love for charcoal at this point and wanted to show off my prowess by putting as many folds as possible into his sleeve.
Minimal Still Life
Pencil and Color Pencil, 2020
​
For this still life I want to put as much detail into the piece as possible. I love to draw humans and thought this would not be a problem. As the deadline drew near and I had only finished the busts, I problem-solved the solution of changing medium and using light impression lines for the background.

Watercolor and Ink, 2019
​
I created this piece my freshman year at college after I had just begun missing home. My yearnings came out in my art, and I wanted to express my nebulous feelings in an equally as free medium.
