Fragments of My Life

still life

Graphite on drawing paper

For this still life I dwelled on capturing my experiences through different objects prominent in my life. I painted a large sea shell during quarantine (desperate for entertainment) while the purse represents my social life, as I wore it out in Sophomore year. The medal showcases the achievements that I won during my History Day projects. When I was twelve I got the watch depicted in the drawing, and I wore it every day until I found it boring. The lipglosses connect to the era I’m in now, where I care more about my appearance. These objects come together in my still life, almost like a time capsule with the different memories of my life.

To feel more connected with my late aunt, I have wanted to paint her over the years. However, with taking on a task like that, I knew I needed to take it one step at a time. My first step was to create this drawing, focusing on accuracy while also depicting the feel of her from the reference.

Pen and ink series

A series focusing on experimenting with pen and ink. For some drawings, I applied an ink wash to depict my subject (Pen and Ink #1 & Pen and Ink #2) and at times adding hatching with pen. For the other works, I focused more on the pen work
