Artist Statement

For my series I wanted to do females in a fantasy or unrealistic setting. I've always been interested in drawing in primarily females. In my art I want to express beauty that elicits a subconscious reaction. We are naturally attracted to things in nature such as flowers and color schemes and that's what I wanted to show through my art. An artist who has inspired me is Amy Sol. She also draws females as well as animals, some she makes up some that are real. Se has created her own world and has developed her own color palette which I want to do as well. In my own series I wish I had used one medium and one style so the piece who have flowed together better. In the near future I plan to create my own style and many series.

For this piece I wanted to work with black paper and colored pencils. I like the effects and essentially working backwards. I wanted to go for a darker piece in meaning. This is a scene from the music video for the song "Born to Die" which you can tell by the title, is pretty dark. I wish I had changed the colors a bit more. I've realized that I never really get the color schemes that I want and that's something I'm going to work on.
