Grade: 12

Materials: Oil paint with palette knife
Description: I imagine there’s a traveler who comes across a snowy scene such as this one. wonder if they took a picture to capture it.

Artist Statement: My goal with my artwork is to explore texture using mediums like oil pastels and texture heavy acrylic paint. My subjects in my art is usually animals and nature, these two things make me feel at peace. My art is my escape from the negativity and stressors of life. I go into a trance for hours to create something I know I’ll be proud of. Animals and flowers inspire me because of the purpose each living thing serves in life. Animals usually live for simply one purpose, while human beings sometimes struggle to find theirs. There’s a beauty in that that I can’t quite explain.
