the birds

i took this picture on santa monica beach the day before my 25th birthday. we also went to see the ashes and snow exhibit while we were there and it was AMAZING! i loved the photography as well as the mood of the museum. it was an excellent example of how the set-up can totally enhance the experience of the artwork. some stuff looks better when it's not hanging in a white cube. :)

art for hope

this is a piece i just finished for the art exhibit at hope chapel. it is based on the verse in matthew 28:8 where the women leave the tomb after being told that Jesus has come back to life. it says they ran from the tomb with fear and great joy, and that seemed like such a strange mix of emotions to put on a face, that i personified them into two little kids on the path.

the piece is 16" x 20" and is made of paper and ink and marker. yay!
