ART

Some personal, school, and commissioned projects.

Traditional Art

"Hanging in There" • Graphite on paper

June 14, 2021 • An 8th-grade school surrealism project.

"Fruit Still-Life" • Oil Pastel on paper

Nov 15, 2022 • A technical first project attempt at oil pastels in my school Studio Art class.

"Catcher in the Rye - Found Poem"

June 14, 2022 • For a 10th-grade English Class project, I used printed-out pages from the book "Catcher in the Rye," and then circled words that read as a poem together.

"Yin & Yang" • Graphite & Charcoal on paper

Sept 15, 2023 • A school shading study. I shaded the two figures in opposing directions to create a visual contrast with an abstract "Yin & Yang" feel.

"Musicality" • Graphite & Charcoal on paper

Jan 31, 2024 • This piece was selected and shown at the Armonk Outdoor Art Show. It represents how music is a part of me; my connection to the piano is shown through the reflection of my hand on the keys.

"Time Crunch" • Graphite on paper

March 4, 2024 • A personal Self-portrait project. This piece is a visual representation of my constant battle against the clock.

"End Up Chasing" • Oil Pastel on drawing board

Sept 3, 2024 • A piece from my AP Studio Art sustained investigation of how the emotions elicited by music can translate to visual art. I listened to a queue of songs as I colored, paying attention to individual instruments and the song as a whole. I listened to: "Igor," the album by Tyler the Creator, "Tongue Tied" by GROUPLOVE, "Are you Bored Yet?" and "Calling After Me" by the Wallows, "Japan" by Yot Club, and "The Feminine Urge" by the Last Dinner Party.

"The Prismatic Experience" • Graphite & Charcoal on paper

Aug 27, 2024 • I love the abstractness that water renders itself to, especially when used symbolically in art. I created this moody, black-and-white self-portrait to represent my deep self-reflection and thought. The water is an extension of my head, reflecting said introspection.

"Please... Stop..." • Graphite on paper

"Don John - Character Sheet" • Graphite on paper

"Charcoal Nights" • White charcoal on black paper

Dec 18, 2025 • At a time of turbulent emotions, I wrote a song to sort my feelings. I took inspiration from its words to create this visual piece. The tangled, confusing, yet beautiful swing strings fill the empty sky and represent my feelings as I lyrically described them. Then, I poked holes in the black paper and built a lightbox behind it to create the illusion of stars.
