Bird Bear. Buff Clay with Acrylic Paint. 2017. When making this piece, we had to use two different animals and their features to make a whole new animal. I chose to use the body of a bear, wings of a bird, feet and beak of a bird, and I added a scaly tail to add something different to the sculpture. I wanted the piece to look dark but beautiful. I chose to do a dark body so the wings and feet stand out and look colorful and alive. I had this piece in a sitting position to give it a more friendly appearance, instead of a dark scary look. I also painted the eyes the same color as the wings so they would pop away from the dark fur of the body and face.

Tree Waterfall. Corrugated Cardboard Sculpture. 2016. For this piece we had to create an abstract piece that tells a story, or that symbolizes something in real life by using cardboard. I chose to do trees that are growing in a waterfall-like effect. I would also say the trees look like some sort of Japanese buildings. I had used a razor to cut out the shapes and hot glue to glue them together. I wanted to add texture to the trees, so I removed the first layer of the cardboard to show the middle, wavy layer. I also built a fence around the piece to symbolize the protection of our society and nature. Finally, I cut out a small pond next to the trees and a small garden of flowers next to them as well. This piece to me symbolizes a growing society and the beauty of nature.
Sea to Sky. Acrylic Paint. 2018. In this transition painting I wanted the viewer to be able to see the similarities and differences among different life sources. I also wanted to pick two animals that are on opposite ends of the spectrum. With the fish being low in the sea and the bird being high in the sky. I also chose to do the same colors for the bird and the fish to make it more realistic as if they were really morphing into one another. I chose to add in background objects to make it more eye catching and realistic as well. I wanted the scenery in the first panel to break down along with the fish and bird and turn into what would be the tree in the last painting. The point of this piece is to make the viewer's eyes flow from the bottom to top and to sell the resemblance in life forms.
