Artist Statement

• My Interest in art started when I was young. Ive
  always loved to create things because I
• love pictures and what the eye can see. I find it
  amazing, in that you dont have to be a
• wonderful artist in order to make something
  beautiful. My grandmother, Giovanna, was
• an artist, and I have always looked up to her.
  When it all comes down to it, I feel like we
• are similar women, just with a generation gap.
  Through the early 60s in New York my
• grandmothers job was to sketch clothing designs
  for high class stores, to put in the
• newspaper. She also designed windows in the city
  to advertise. She still paints today, at
• the age of eighty, and I really admire and envy
  the lifestyle she had.
• I typically use people and nature as subject
  matters. I also love to design though. I
• draw clothing and different inventions I have
  created in my mind. I really love to work with
• Color.
• When in college I would love to major in design,
  and learn more about clothing design.
• High School does not offer courses for that, so
  it would be great to learn something so
• new to me. I hope one day to be a clothing
  designer or advertising designer, and art is
• the key to obtaining these careers.

Audrey

• I used pen and ink to create this piece. I love
  Audrey Hepburn, in the movie Breakfast at
  Tiffanys, and I thought this photograph had
  really good contrast for using ink wash.

Gnome

• I hand-built this pot out of coils. After
  constructing the cylinder I added clay to make a
  face, beard, and clothes. I love how it came out,
  and the glazes worked really well.

Lightning

• I used acrylic on canvas for this painting. The
  picture shows nature, and is conveyed through the
  cool colors I used.

7
Strawberry Pot

• This pot was constructed by using slabs. I
  decorated it by adding strawberries and swirls.
  On the side of the pot I hand carved flower
  designs. I used a shiny, copper glaze, with a
  dark undertone, to add depth to the details.
