Lonely Highway
Acrylic on Canvas
Painting
2017
This piece is about a lonely journey to success. I believe that nobody is truly by your side through
everything. I think that most of your journey through your life is done by yourself. You have to be your
anchor and motivation. The only person that is going to help you and motivate you along the way is
yourself. The curve in the road is to show that you don't know what life is gonna throw at you, but that you should be ready for anything.

Polluted Beauty
Acrylic on Board
Painting
2017
This painting is about how social media simplifies real life problems. On Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram you will always see "1 like is 1 prayer" or "Share if you would help them." The only problem is that
it doesn't help anyone, it only helps your ego. By sharing a picture on social media or liking one, it will only help your conscious. In this painting I wanted to push the topic of pollution. In the background there is an
extremely polluted city, but in the front, there is a girl. She is the focus of the painting, what your eye is drawn to. I wanted this to happen because you ignore the problem in the back, to focus on the person and not the issue that is happening.

Minds Wonder
Watercolor
Painting
2017
This painting is about a girl who wants to be somewhere else no matter where she is. She always believes
that there is somewhere better than where she is. She would rather sleep under the night sky than inside a house that smells like cigarettes and old paint. She would rather be somewhere free than trapped inside her mind.

Numb Childhood
Acrylic on Canvas
This is my choice painting. It is about the difference between the generations and their childhoods.
When I was a kid, I would ride my bike to the nearest park and read a book. Cell phones were just now getting popular with middle-schoolers. Video games were limited to the people who could afford them, but now almost
every household has a game system. WiFi was made for the rich and now it is available to everyone. Now, kids want to sit inside and watch Netflix or play the Wii. I miss being a care-free kid and playing outside until the streetlights came on.
