This watercolor and gouache portrait of my eight-year old brother, Saul, was created from an original photograph. It was an assignment for a Design class two years ago. The assignment focused on organic figures.

Ram, Dodge

I chose an advertisement for a Dodge truck from a National Geographic magazine because it looked like a technically challenging piece to paint. The smooth black and white gradation, and dark and light contrast fit the assignment for my Design class.

This is a portrait of my partner created as his Christmas gift last year. It was exhibited at the 2008 Yuba-Sutter Fair and won second place.

Don't Yield to Hurdles

I used a technical pencil, along with Prismacolor pencils, Liquitex acrylic, tracing paper, and poster board for this large collage created three years ago as part of a series.

Life Cycle

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:33:07 UTC

This large, mixed-media piece is part of a collage series I worked on three years ago. I used Liquitex acrylic, a technical pencil, magazine clippings, and thread. If you observe closely, you'll see the deliberate eraser marks throughout the piece. The idea behind this piece, as with most of my artwork, is a criptic message. My mind absorbs the negative and positive things in life, past and current, and drains out bits and pieces that I can not decipher. My art is my subconscious on paper. I can only expect someone brilliant to figure my mind out.

It Just Revolves

I did this large collage as part of a series three years ago, using a technical pencil, Prismacolor pencils, tracing paper, transparent scrapbook paper, reflective gold poster board, and magazine clippings.

Tierra Roja

This painting was finished in May for a painting class. It's based off my instructor's old slide of a photograph taken in Arizona. My primary goal in this painting was not to paint a landscape, but rather, to create life in a landscape through layers of subtle colors. This painting was exhibited at the 2008 Yuba-Sutter Fair.

This drawing was completed in February for an assignment in Color Theory class. It's based off a photograph I took of my partner and I. This piece is one of the final 191 artworks selected from more than 1,470 entries for an exhibition for the 2008 California State Fair. It won an Award of Merit.

Face to Face

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:33:03 UTC

This painting was finished in February for my Color Theory class. The assignment was to study the tonal values of a black and white photograph. I chose a self-portrait. This painting was exhibited at the 2008 Yuba-Sutter Fair and won second place.

Eee-Why-Eee, See?

This was my first foray into printmaking three years ago. It's a drypoint of a sketch I did of my brother's hands, which turned into something surreal. I later realized the parallel between the image I created, and my fascination with disciplined hand-eye coordination in artists. I also later realized the subconcious influence of M.C. Escher's style on my piece. I printed an edition of ten, with a few variables. This particular piece was one of the variables, in black. The other ten were inked in a sepia tone. I've exhibited and sold several of these prints throughout California.
