2/8-10/19 Project:Exhibition Honors:This helmet was apart of the 21 Helmets art show put on by SEE SEE Motorcycle cafe. It was featured in the One Moto show, a yearly Motorcycle convention in the Portland area welcoming 15,000 attendees. I am so thankful for this opportunity to feature my work, and have this helmet displayed. It definitely was a challenge, but it helped me grow as an artist and I am extremely proud of how it turned out.
Portland Art Museum display
5/11/18 Project: Exhibition Honors: I am so thankful to have been chosen to be in the yearly HeART of Portland artshow featuring public school kids across the Portland metropolitan area. Out of my school, one person is picked to represent as an ambassador for the schools art program. It was so amazing to represent my school for the second time and show my work to the public of Portland. My picture taken for the walkout in memory of the Parkland shooting victims was featured and displayed. I am really proud of out school for this silent walk out and I am so thankful I was there to document this. In the middle is my official artist statement for the piece describing the event more in depth.
Enough Display
4/7/18 Project:Display Objective: For all the pictures I took on the recent walk out our school participated in, I wanted to create a display for the school to show the history that happened. I used the magazine spread I made (See art page) and some of my favorite photos I took of that day. This display stood for the entire month of March for the March for our lives campaign. I loved being able to curate this display, and show my work to the student body. I would walk down the hall and see people reading each page of the magazine spread, and really looking at it, which was a really cool to see.
Portland Art Museum Wire Identity Sculpture
3/12/17 Class:3D art Project:Class assignment Name of art Piece:Edelweiss Objective/Artist statement:"I formulated an abstract sculpture using three descriptive words to represent identity. Words that describe me are edgy, unique and colorful. The bare wires in the back of the crown showcase my edgy side, yet it also represents my vulnerability. The butterflies personify the colorful side of me; I consider myself an individual and I like that every butterfly has its own patterns."
Honors:This project is probably my most proud being the honor that it received. The project that I created was picked by my art teacher to represent my high school to be in the HeART of Portland exhibit located at the Portland Art Museum. The HeART of Portland is a major event that showcases an ambassador from each PPS(Portland Public schools) who was chosen by an art teacher. The event reached around 600 people for the opening day of the exhibit. My crown was front and center in a glass case, with many people drawing towards it. It was a really special moment being that my art piece was in an actual art museum that showcased many famous artists. This exhibit lasted for a week, with many visitors to the museum seeing it. I remember listening to the conversations people had about it and it was so special to see this art piece I worked so long and hard on being in a huge art museum. Before it was in the art museum also it was put in the front showcase of my school. I still am so thankful and proud I got this opportunity.
