Iris, 2009,

I have a fascination with eyes. I draw them all the time and there is so much that can be said with the depiction of eyes and looks and this piece is just another example of that.

Lightning Image 1, 2009

Lightning Image 2, 2009

I like both of these images in the way she creates something that doesn't exist by combining landscapes that don't exist together. I feel like there is something beautiful and magical that accompanies lightning and these images to me play off of that.

Appropriation

This is my example of appropriation art. I used Mimicry of Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama "Hope" Campaign Poster. Because of this use of pre-existing artwork with little change I was able to fall into the classification of appropriation. 

  

Example of Digital Imaging

I like the way the face and hand flows into the light spectrum in the background. The soft transition in the cheek and fingers and at the hairline give a nice touch in the composition and flow of both the image and the background.
