Self Portrait


















This it the three panel self portrait I did. The first panel is of my family because they mean a lot to me. And like any family, the dog of course it as the center of everything. But on a more serious note my family has always been there to support and encourage me and have made me who I am today.















The second panel is two images of myself at the beach in Mexico because I am a Gemini and the beach is my favorite place to be. The two images of me are different, one is of me wearing black and grey and the other image of me is brighter. This is because I am serious, but also fun and outgoing.

















The third panel is of my rugby team. Over the past two years rugby has become a huge part of my life and the girls on my team are some of my best friends.

So this is me in a nutshell. I love my family and my friends...and the beach. I'm serious and I work hard, but I'm also fun and crazy, especially when I'm with my friends.

Final Project








I'm Always Chasing Rainbows performed by Judy Garland

More Digital Art Projects



Warning label-

Note: this is entirely true
rugby is both dangerous and amazing, but it is so much more fun than it is dangerous so it's definitely worth it.
Pictograph-
Next to rugby (and art) I love music like I love air.
Singing is my life and without it I would be nothing.
I owe my love for music in part to my grandfather who was a singer and sang for his senior club at every party. He is my inspiration in many ways, especially with music.

second song for final project

My Romance

My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly guitars

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true

My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a thing but you

song for final project

I'm Always Chasing Rainbows

I'm always chasing rainbows,
Watching clouds drifting by.
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky.

Some fellows look and find the sunshine,
But I always look and find the rain.
Some fellows make a winning sometime,
I never even make a gain.

Belive me,
I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.

Dia: Beacon

Andy Warhol was born in 1928 in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and developed St. Vitus’ dance when he was young and so he became an outcast among his peers. He believes, however, that this period in his young life was essential to his growth as an artist. He studied at Carnegie Mellon University (then Carnegie Institute of Technology) and later move to New York City to pursue a career. Warhol was an important figure in the Pop Art movement. He employed silk-screening techniques to mass produce images for his art. The simplicity and repetition of his works has always interested me.

During my visit to the Dia: Beacon I noticed there was a room devoted to Andy Warhol and was not surprised to find that the work displayed, entitled “Shadows” (1978), involved simple shapes and much repetition. It also comes as no surprise that I enjoyed this piece very much. The many different bright colors used in the backgrounds of each canvas in contrast to the black shadow which appeared the same as one of two shapes on every canvas provided a very appealing aesthetic quality. I had an opportunity to sit in the room in which Warhol’s work was exhibited and just appreciate the work around me and I found it to be overall a very enjoyable experience.
