Hand with Flowers
For this piece, I chose to use digital photography because I love the way that the medium can be altered to show an exact moment in time. My plans for my future as an artist mostly revolve around my hope to go to university to study fashion design or fashion photography. These are two mediums that have always interested me, and I would love to be able to create art in these mediums as a future career.

Trinity of Eighth Grade
This piece started as a demo for my 8th-grade students. I asked Trinity if she would be my muse. I wanted to capture how amazing she is. She is very shy yet has a strong spirit. I told her to give me a strong pose, and she kept laughing in between. I chose to capture that instead. She was a bit embarrassed initially, but as I continued the drawing, she found confidence in herself through the artwork. She now requests to see the piece and shows her friends. She is an awesome artist as well.
