Serenity

This painting is a traditional mixed media painting that features acrylic, pen, marker, pencil and gold leaf to represent finding balance during the chaotic times of quarantine. This pandemic has given me many opportunities to do more art, and I feel this opportunity has really allowed me to focus on improving more and learning the […]

Mid-Morning Sky

This painting was done in early 2020, during the pandemic lock down and was meant to capture light and shadow filtering through a large band of clouds at sunrise or sunset. The orange tones and highlights on the warmer, brighter lit parts of the clouds are one of my favorite elements of this painting, however […]

Glowing Sun Child

This digital mixed media piece really elevated my understanding of many of the blending features that digital art offers. Contrary to media arts, the attention to Grey values, inverted values and artificial light are not often used, whereas in digital art it is arguably more prominent than natural or traditional lighting. This understanding I think […]

Chief

This painting is a traditionally done acrylic painting that was one of my first attempts into capturing light. It was made as a gift for a friend of mine and depicts the main character, Mastercheif, from the game Halo MCC, as seen in the poster for Halo 3. I had a lot of fun mixing […]

Blockism Still-Life

This acrylic painting is meant to mimic the colours and strokes often found in the pre-cubist art style of artists like Cezanne. I learned about this painting technique in one of my art classes while enrolled in the ACAM program at my high school. This painting was completed as part of a school project and […]

Impressionism Still-Life

This acrylic painting is meant to mimic the colours and strokes often found in the impressionistic art of artists like Monet and Degas from the 19th century. I learned about these techniques of capturing colour in one of my art classes while enrolled in the ACAM program at my high school. I found learning about […]

Tattoo Design

This line drawing was made digitally originally as a reference for a set of tattoos. I spent a lot of time focusing on balance and composition, which are some of the things I learned while in the ACAM program at my high school. I hadn’t originally intended to include it in my university portfolio, but […]

African Sun

While experimenting with light I created this based on a reference photo from pinterest. The warm light bouncing off the subject’s face was so captivating to me, as were the proportions in the subject’s features. With much of the digital art world being overwhelmingly white and female, I have often found myself fascinated by the […]

The Colours of Women

This digital painting was part of a study I did that experimented with greyscale colour palettes versus traditional colour palettes. While painting, I didn’t know what the colours I was selecting from the palette were, just their grayscale values. Looking at it now, it captures the beauty of the woman and the vibrance of the […]

Blues and Rain

This painting was a study using a monochrome palette and also used a reference from the internet. My biggest challenge while making this digital painting was capturing light and shadow without being able to differ from my hue. Many of my paintings in this portfolio follow this theme of learning more about light, shadow, grayscales […]
