• Acrylic Paint on Canvas
The inspiration behind this piece derived from the great skills of Bob Ross. With this piece, I wanted to experiment with bold colours, landscapes and a large canvas. The solo bear wandering through the eerie forest is meant to be suggestive of the journey we all travel.

• Rose Close-up
• Rose Close-up
• Completed August 2018
• Acrylic Paint on Canvas
For this piece I wanted to experiment on a simple subject matter with vibrant colours, I used many layers of washes to create transparency in the piece. The play with light and dark is suggestive of chiaroscuro but expressed in a more natural manner.

• Graphite Pencil (Staedtler) and Charcoal on Strathmore Mixed Media White Paper, Acrylic Paint on Paper
The inspiration behind this piece came from how colourful nature can look like from peering out a window. With this piece, I wanted to experiment with this concept of high saturation for the landscape while keeping the interior greyscale. I tried to punch up the vibrancy of the exterior to exaggerate this idea further.

• Watercolor Pencils on Strathmore Mixed Media White Paper
For this piece I wanted to experiment with a space scene, I used a swirling gesture with my pencils to create the given texture with some flicking of paint to create fine mists. The play with the bright colours and airy atmosphere was a fun and insightful creation.

• X-Ray in Colour
• Completed March 2017

• Prismacolor Pencils on Black Paper
The inspiration behind this piece derived from the viewing of a radiology textbook. With this piece, I wanted to experiment with how these bones would look in a full colour version. The figures, made transparent though the x ray process, represent the transparency we all share with our partners with a variety of colours representing unique personalities.
