Black Cat- 7x7- Acrylic paint
I made this painting inspired by a photo I took of my cat. I started by painting the shape of him with black paint. Then, I layered on white and grey brushstrokes to create the texture of his fur. The last thing I did was adding black to the corners that gradated to white to make him stand out.

The Ballerina- 7x10- Collage
This artworks theme is centered on dance. The background is a collage of torn up sheet music to represent the music ballerinas dance to. On top of that are cut out pictures of me dancing in a performance. The last thing added is the pointe shoe that is painted with acrylic paint. The pointe shoe ribbons that I got from an old pair of pointe shoes adds contrast to the artwork.

Vase of Roses- 9x12- Acrylic paint
This painting was inspired by a vase of flowers that I found on a table in my house. I chose this style because I wanted to make it more 2-d.

Sugar Plum Fairy- 9x12- Acrylic paint
I made this painting inspired by a picture that was taken of me during a performance. I chose this composition because it makes the viewer feel as if they are in the audience. For the costume and the stage. I used multiple layers to create value and texture.

Glass Frog- 7x10- Water soluble colored pencils
I made this painting inspired by a glass frog figurine that I found really pretty. The lighting shining in the front created highlights and I painted them to convey the transparency of glass. I added many layers of colors to get the gradient of green in the glass.

Soda Bottles- 7x10- Water soluble colored pencils
For this painting, I set up some glass soda bottles to get the composition I wanted. To complete this artwork, I painted section by section, layering on colors to make the objects look transparent.
