Fine Art

This is a collection of fine art I have created over the years. I enjoy finding objects with interesting shapes and/or textures, then explore them with different media.

Betta Fish

This is the first digital drawing I have ever done. I choose a betta fish because they remind me of my childhood. My parents had a few females and males at different times during my life.

I always enjoyed watching these colorful fish swim back and forth in the tank. I loved how their colorful scales would shift in different light and their fins moved gracefully through the water.

Guitar Study

In this piece, I explore the different textures present in an acoustic guitar. During my study of this instrument, I wanted to show the grain of the wood, the coils in the strings, and how light reflected off of the different surfaces.

Blue Strawberries

This piece is a study on color and how we perceive our natural world. Since we can only see the color wavelengths being reflected back at us, it impossible to know any object's true color. With that in mind, strawberries could really be blue.

Shark Tooth Study

Shark Tooth: Ebony Pencil and PrismaColor colored pencils on dark grey Canson paper

This is an enlargement study of a shark tooth. The actual tooth is roughly one inch long. I wanted to highlight the cracks and texture of the tooth while maintaining a small level of mystery and fear with the dark paper.

Einstein

This piece visually highlights the career of Albert Einstein. I have included imagery related to his work in Physics and his Nobel Prize. Also included is a copy of his signature. He is pictured staring off into space, possible contemplating the universe.
