Heyyyy my BEAUTIFUL SOULSSS ✨️🙌🏾 DESIGN 101 This work of art comes from my early design training, the assignment where I had to create a full pattern using only squares, rectangles, and triangles. ✒️No shading. ✒️No realism. ✒️No characters. ✒️Just pure shape, repetition, and structure. It was one of those assignments that teaches how shapes interact, how direction creates movement, how repetition builds rhythm. This was the moment I learned that design isn’t always about subject matter. Sometimes it’s about the architecture underneath the idea. FUN FACT: I was in college for Architecture and minoring in Interior Design Working on this taught me: 🍥Precision is a skill = Clean lines and symmetry take patience, not luck. 🖋 🍥Order can be beautiful = Creativity expands when you learn how to control structure. 🖋 🍥Relationships in design = Shapes talk to each other; your job is to make the conversation flow. 🖋 🍥Rhythm through repetition = Repetition isn’t boring, it’s movement, pattern, and intention. 🖋 🍥Foundation before freedom = Mastering the basics is what gives you the freedom to break rules later. 🖋 This piece reminded me that even the “simple” assignments carry depth. They sharpen your eye, your discipline, and your ability to create meaning without relying on detail. It was quiet work, but foundational. The kind of assignment that stays with you long after the semester ends. THESE ARE IMAGES, IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING MY GEOMETRIC DESIGN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY BEAUTIFUL SOULSSS 😍 🤩!!

💛🫶🏾 HEY BEAUTIFUL SOULSSS 😍 🤩 I wanted to share with you guys my days in college AND indulge in my love for art and what it taught me about myself In college I had an assignment where we had to take three completely different images and blend them into one piece. I picked the Grand Canyon or Sedona can't remember , a tiger from the zoo, and a cat in an alley… three things that had absolutely nothing to do with each other and I made them work together lol. At the time I wasn’t thinking about style. I wasn’t thinking about labels. I wasn’t trying to “be” anything. I was just creating from instinct, trusting my imagination, trusting my eye, and letting the images come together however they wanted to. Then critique day came. One of my classmates looked at my piece and said: “You remind me of a surrealist artist.” I smiled with confusion on my face and told him, “I have no clue what that even is,” and he laughed and said he really liked it and was blown away that I even thought to combine those three things into one image. he then told me, “Go look into surrealism.” So I went home and did exactly that. And suddenly everything made sense. The way I mix worlds. The way I blend realities. The way my imagination naturally pulls things together that don’t “belong." That moment taught me: ✨️ Your style finds you, Your gift will reveal itself even when you’re not looking for it. ✨️Instinct is guidance, the things you do naturally are usually the things you’re meant to lean into. ✨️ People reflect your truth to YOU, Sometimes someone else names your greatness before you’re ready to claim it. I hit another turning point, its figure drawing now and I'm a sophomore. If you’ve ever taken a figure‑drawing class, you know it’s different. It forces you to slow down. To really see. To pay attention to every curve, every shadow, every shift in weight. This was one of the first times I drew the human body from life. A nude woman. the back, the muscles, the posture. And when I finished, I had this moment like:

HEY BEAUTIFULSSS✨️✨️✨️ I BEEN SO BUSY LATELY HAVENT GOTTEN TO CREATE and SHARE YET UNTIL THEN I would LOVE TO SHARE MY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS OF ART WITH YOU ALL IF THATS ALRIGHT 🤗 I was so innocent and inexperienced with this side of the art world but I had a blast Ceramics was the first class that taught me something deeper than technique, it taught me patience, presence, and how to let the material speak. Clay doesn’t care about perfection. It doesn’t care about your plans. It responds to your energy, your pressure, your intention. This was the first time I realized that art isn’t just about what you make it’s about who you are while you’re making it. Working with clay taught me: 🎨Slow down to create better , Rushing ruins the form. Presence shapes it. 🎨Your hands hold wisdom ,Sometimes your body knows what to do before your mind catches up. 🎨Mistakes are material ,You can reshape, rebuild, and start again. 🎨Creation is connection, Clay responds to you the way life does: honestly. This piece wasn’t just a ceramic project, it was the beginning of me learning how to feel my way through art, not just think my way through it.

For the past 8-10 weeks I've been working on a project for my bathroom. Previous projects have been for others, so it was beautiful to curate something for myself. Going to class once a week has allowed me to express with other creatives and express myself using many mediums.

Hi there, I am growing an onion in my window and was so in love with its sprouted shape that I wanted to capture it and draw it. Isn’t she a beaut?! She’s much bigger now and has many more siblings lol but she’s now a print available on my REDBUBBLE shop! I also have a refreshed piece up, HotDog Man. Look for him, too! Thanks, hope you have a beautiful day!! https://www.redbubble.com/people/skeletelena/explore?asc=u&page=1&sortOrder=recent
