Milestones along the journey.
Each exhibition represents more than a finished piece; it reflects the time, growth, and passion behind it. These recognitions inspire me to keep creating, learning, and sharing my work with others.
Oil Painting | 2025 | 2nd Place - Shoreline Arts Alliance Exhibition
This portrait focuses on expression, lighting, and color. I wanted to capture an unguarded, playful moment while experimenting with dramatic shadows and realistic skin tones.
Graphite Drawing | 2025 | 2nd Place - Shoreline Arts Alliance Exhibition
This drawing captures a grandfather and grandson sharing a successful day of fishing. I focused on creating depth through cross-hatching, fabric textures, and the contrast between the figures and the open landscape.
Graphite Drawing | 2024 | Honorable Mention - Shoreline Arts Alliance Exhibition
Inspired by quiet moments outdoors, this piece explores movement through flowing fabric and natural light. I enjoyed balancing fine details with softer shading to create a calm, storybook-like atmosphere.
