My Program Portfolio!!


This is my portfolio for the A/I Program Review!! I'm not sure why some of the pages are darker than the others' here on blogspot...

This also the artist statement I wrote for it:

I’m an artist because I have something to say about who I am and how I see the world. These last 3 years in the major, I’ve learned so much about myself through speaking in a visual medium. It hasn’t been easy and that’s what I love about it. Challenges inspire me. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and am ready for the next step. I’m particularly excited to learn more about Visual Development. The process of designing innovative worlds and characters intrigue me. I aspire to work in the animation film industry because I want to tell stories that mean something to me. I’m inspired by music, dance, sports, food, theater, (and so much more)… all of which I draw from to create my art. Studying art doesn’t feel like I’m learning just one thing - it’s an accumulation of everything! The more I live and ask questions about the world around me, the more I become an informed artist. I put my best work forward and embrace constructive criticism, but most importantly, I am passionate for this art form and I love sharing it with others. This program is challenging and I would love the opportunity to be apart of it.

Work to be posted shortly!

Hello Blogspotters and the internet world.

Been busy drawing and painting and getting my portfolio together for the mid-program review. I'm stoked! After looking through all my work it's gotten me face to face with the progress I've made and am adding more to the great long list of things I need to work on. It's super inspirational. The work will be posted shortly!

In my digging of work to put in my portfolio, I found this portrait I forgot I did back in February of my boyfriend, Kevin Maier looking super serious. Thought I'd post it first since he's played such a big role in encouraging me to stick with my passion. He's also an animator and an amazing one at that. Kevin is the most hardworking and creative person I know! :)
