Painted with tempera paints with a focus on details and textures. It was a study on perspective and light.
This is a composite, multiplicity photo. The original shot was of a jump at the Birch Hill Downhill recreation area, as my boy Luke got absolutely pitted off that booter, and got completely cheddared on the landing. The background was a little too busy for my liking though, so I switched it out for a more impressive moon shot that I had taken previously.
I created this piece because it has a deeper unknown meaning that is beyond even my knowledge.
Me and my bros were hiking a powder jump at alyeska and I decided I would take out my camera to get some shots. I set up to the side of the jump and took some photos of the people hitting it, this was the photo that I though turned out the best.
I took this picture while walking on a small rocky cliff right by my hotel in Hawaii. I chose this picture because it reminds me of the warm comforting feeling Hawaii gave me. Looking at this picture reminds me of the warm nights and even warmer days in Hawaii with my family. In conclusion this picture reminds me of a vacation where all I can remember is smiling and walking on the beach with my family.
Driving to school in the mornings gives me so many ideas and I see so much. The ravens, flying into town to scavenge, the sunrise, and the curling of the fallen leaves in the wind. I have done my best to capture this early morning feeling.

This piece was based on my strong love of insects, but was also based in finding beauty and intricacy in an insect not typically seen as beautiful. The moths are based one multiple different species, including tiger moths and hawk moths, but combine many different species different traits and unique features.
I was tasked with creating a painting using a palette knife instead of brushes. I was inspired by various stylized pieces I saw online, and through trial and error, created one of my own! Acrylics.
I have been experimenting with different underglazing techniques and stumbled across one that used shaving cream. After lots of practice I feel that I have successfully created the marbling effect that I want on my mugs.

These copper earrings have been rolled with a lace texture and embellished with sterling silver beads. Doming them gave them dimension. The hardest part of making these was getting the beads to stay in place while soldering them.

(Honorable Mention – Photography)
What inspired me to take this photo was something I saw a couple years ago. It was a photo of a girl holding a lot of little fairy lights, but the background was slightly lit. I knew I wanted to do something like that, and so I thought about it, and because my room gets so dark in the evening and I had lights, I decided to do it. I added the dress part because it looks better than it would have in a tee and jeans. I think it turned out really great and I’m so happy with how it looks.

These earrings are made of copper wire, thin sterling silver wire, and a natural river stone bead. The hardest part of making these was soldering the wires together.

This bracelet is made of copper and nickel. The piece includes etching, the use of a hydraulic press and soldering. The bracelet uses tension to open and close.

These earrings are made of sterling silver and real moss. Triangular shapes were cut out of the metal with extra width on the sides so that I could bend them to form a triangular box. Hammering the sides was the hardest part to make sure that I got the desired shape.

The beading was done first on felt for these mittens. The mittens are made out of moose hide and are trimmed with rabbit fur. These took me about 2 months to compete.
