I love using collage work, and i'm trying something new by making copies of some of my original sketches or things that I made for different projects. Gluing them on just like I do with the collage pieces and continuing to paint absolutely loving this new concept.It's so much fun to see some of my sketches come to life and to be put on a canvas in a different way!

"Guanyin is the revered Chinese Bodhisattva of compassion and mercy, widely known as the Goddess of Mercy. Her name means "The One Who Perceives the Sounds of the World." This artwork I am working on came from an original drawing I did for an online art class where we learned how to draw Guanyin from looking at an well known Art statue. Key symbols that I am about to add to this painting are willow tree and lotus flower! I love that this sketch came from a class that was only 1 hour and 15 min. It shows us how much we can create if we put our mind and energy into something ! I love seeing my sketches come to life!

What have you made recently or are you working on?

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 👋🏾 wonderful beautiful souls:💓💛💓 This assignment was based on the Greek tragedy Prometheus Bound the story of a titan punished for giving humanity fire. But instead of recreating the ancient scene, I made it modern. I placed Prometheus in a contemporary environment, a long city street, a building stretching into perspective, a dark sky, a fallen figure, a crow watching over the moment. Prometheus isn’t just a character from ancient Greece. He’s a symbol of anyone who sacrifices, anyone who rebels for the greater good, anyone who pays a price for helping others. Making the piece modern forced me to think differently: What does punishment look like now? What does rebellion look like now? What does sacrifice look like now? This assignment wasn’t just about illustrating a myth it was about translating meaning across time. Working on this piece taught me: A single image can hold an entire myth without saying a word. The posture, the tension, the environment, all of Every element becomes part of the message, especially in a modern setting. Ancient stories still mirror modern struggles. You’re not just drawing; you’re interpreting meaning across eras. Myth hits differently when you place it in a world people recognize. But here’s the part that matters most now: Back then, I ended the piece in darkness a fallen figure, a crow, a lonely street. Now, as a more evolved being, I would redo this piece and end it with a positive memory to reflect on. Because growth changes how you tell stories. Healing changes how you see endings. Wisdom changes what you choose to highlight. If I recreated this today, I’d still honor the struggle but I’d also honor the rise, the resilience, the light, the lesson, the rebirth. Because Prometheus didn’t stay bound forever. This piece taught me that art grows as you grow and sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is revisit an old story with a new heart.
