Monroe 1995

Today, I tried to make Marilyn Monroe as she would have looked like in the year 1995. What do you think?

Thumprint Mural

Spring 2004. This is the largest piece I have ever constructed. Its huge! But anyway, this is a self portrait I created entirely out of prints from my fingers and my thumb. It took forever to finish! God I was so dark and mysterious! Hahahahaha!

Some Helping Hands?

2004. This is the first completed art piece that I have ever done! I am so happy that it still exists because it allows me to look back at where I started and where I am now and see how much better that I continue to get as a practice my art! It is suppose to represent a series of hands that are suppose to be helping grab something from out of the darkness. The pointed braclets are suppose to represent danger from the trust being dealt from the hands. Do you want the help, but at what risk?

Nights of the Dead

November 2008. This is apart of the Fall Collection that I created for an art show for the QC Fall Festival, but in the middle of the collection I got a call that said that it was canceled. They suck. But anyway, this charcoal piece was suppose to represent October's Halloween/day of the dead. Needless to say my hands were black by the end of it!

Trees Trees Trees!

November 2008. I made this for a fall collection that I was putting together for The Quad Cities Annual Fall Festival. But the art shows were canceled for some reason that they did not feel like sharing with the artists participating in the festival. They suck. But I did produce a very nice watercolor. Each branch of the trees contain smaller trees. I thought that was a really interesting way to create a tree.

Monsterista

November 2008. I felt a sudden rush that day to make something crazy! As simple as this work was it had a lot of different pieces that I had to attach and pull together. All I had was two fashion magazines to work with, so I thought about making a monster inspired by The Little Shop of Horrors plant monster. This is the end result!

Blue Skies/Dark Nites

Christmas 2008. I made this for my new BFF, Ashly! Since we have moved to the Quad Cities it is a breath of fresh air. I feel my creative bones moving again! It is very nice!

Around the piece is a Placebo lyric from a song called Pure Morning. I thought that it would go perfectly with the art work and give the viewers an immediate thought about the piece. The white dots in the black area are suppose to represent the alignment of the stars. The red area is a collage of monks gathering for something holy. Dark nites and blue skies are suppose to represent just that. The entire piece is revolving around one big disco ball that is suppose to represent the sun. FUN FUN!

I hope she likes the piece.
