As a fun way to express my creativity, I love to make Tik Toks with my friends. While they’re far from serious or thought out, I enjoy doing it and experiencing the process of making them and viewing the end result.

Last week during class, we were required to submit a mind map- a string of words that connected to one central word. For my mind map, I decided to try something that related to one of my largest interests, music. I play my guitar as a form of creative expression often, and it is oneContinue reading “Blog Post #8”

Everyone possesses qualities they consider to be limitations to their goals, including creative goals. In the Ted Talk we viewed in class, a physical limitation was present that prevented the artist from creating the art he desired to produce. While in producing visual artwork I’ve rarely run into any physical barriers, I’ve certainly experienced themContinue reading “Blog Post #7- Embrace the Shake”

This is a poem I wrote about someone when I couldn’t sleep early Saturday morning. I’m done feeling used Beaten down abused I’m like a tortured artist And you’re my fucked up muse I wish I never met you And your stupid cocky self Because the more I come to know you It’s like you’reContinue reading “Blog Post #6”

Here’s a collection of selfies I always seem to take while crying. I considered using this asContinue reading “Blog Post #3”

I drew this in class on Thursday with my left hand. I’ve done this exercise in many art classes before, and I’m always pleasantly surprised with how the drawings turn out. I also always find it to be a freeing experience, I allow myself to make looser, less calculated marks and the finished product feelsContinue reading “Blog Post #2”

When I think of my dad, a few things come to mind; his carefree personality, humorous demeanor, passion for food, but above all, his eyes. Wide set, too big for the rest of his face, bright baby blue, and framed by a thick set of jet black eyelashes, they’re perhaps his most defining physical characteristic.Continue reading “Blog Post #1- Self Portrait”
