Art is more than just a painting on a wall...

Being an artist, do you know how often people tell me that they wished they could do art or be creative? All the time! There is something that I realized though. Art is a lot more than just a painting on a wall. There are many definitions of what art is but this is my favorite. Everyone is an artist in their own special way. :)

Going digital...

I had to make an inspirational poster for my visual media class and this is what I ended up coming up with. My inspiration came from the hymn "Be Still My Soul" and I also took a world religions class and learned a lot of meditation. Mixing those two ideas I created this in photoshop. 
This is a logo I created for fake non-profit organization called Pineapple Remedy. My teacher gave my group the catagory of fruit and we were to pick a fruit and make up an organization then individually go and make a logo for that company. Our organization is to help cure vitamin c deficiencies and get pineapples to people all around the world. It was pretty funny. Some of the other organizations in my class were saving unicorn blood and other one was about nerds social networking.

For my graphic design class we were to create a logo for a company that we were to make up. I decided to do a children's clothing store called Little Style. We also also had to make our logo out of an animal so I chose to do a monkey because monkeys are fun and playful:).

Sparkles and an emotional roller coaster!

Oh hey little fools! We are coming for you! I have epic adventures in my pumpkin mask! Plus my roommates and I are practically ninjas!
 Just me and my Katie friend! She is a crazy!
 I painted Caleb a third eye so that he could win at staring contests. Plus he just likes to be creepy...
 Corey wanted to be able to have the super power of seeing with his eyes closed so painted him eyes on his eyes. Now no one can murder him in his sleep. Aren't I such a good artist!
We made delicious cookie sandwiches!


While I am at it I might as well update you all on my mission papers. Due to unseen difficulties my papers are still not in and won't be for a few more weeks:(. But thats ok they will get submitted eventually and it will all be worth it!

Chickens...thats what it is all about!


I declare that chickens are probably one of the most fun things to paint! Try it. Love it. I think I have become addicted and for the rest of my life all I will paint is chickens, buy only chicken things, and become the crazy chicken lady! The End.

From the sketch book...

So I usually do things more realistic but I decided to branch out a little and do something a little more stylistic and cartoony. This is what I came up with. Its called "bad hair day."
