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.

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.
Bubbles. White Earthenware Clay with Glaze. 2017. To make this bowl, I had used little pieces of clay, rolled them into circles, and pushed them flat to mold them into another bowl. Once I had the inside of the other bowl filled with the clay circles, I waited a day for it to dry then took it out. I wanted to outside to stand out, so to emphasize the circles I chose a blue glaze. I carved a heart on the inside of the bowl and painted it red to add more to the piece.
