Title: “transcendent”
Mediums: ballpoint pen, acrylic paint
Artist bio:
The arts have always been a huge part of my life. Whether it being music, photography, or drawing and painting; I take to the arts for comfort. It gives me a purpose and makes me feel whole. My main mediums include ballpoint pen, acrylic paint, and graphite pencil. I spend hours and hours drawing realistic graphite portraits, putting effort into every small detail. Drawing people never gets old. Since moving to Chico over a year ago, I developed a knack for animation style art, shifting my focus from realism. I have since enjoyed creating characters from my imagination. Otherworldly creatures that are similar to humans yet completely different; fill up the walls of my bedroom. There are so many ways I dream of expanding my art, so much I want to experiment with. I’ll never ever get tired of creating.

This is a difficult topic to speak on for me as I don’t feel I should have the platform. Therefore it’s easier for me to speak through my artwork. I created this drawing to protest the discrimination, lawlessness, and brutality of the police force against people of color. Specifically the tragic murder of George Floyd. This is a portrait of Derek Chauvin as I see him. My hope is that this piece will raise awareness and catalyze activism and change.

This piece was originally for a school assignment. we were told to create something with the whole value range. I don't remember my thought process exactly but I remember when I created it I was doing a lot of research on snails and was considering raising one. I also love fantasy art and creating interest and I wanted to practice texture as well. I used mechanical pencil for most of the line work, so the thin lead really helped with the finer details. For the shading I used graphite dust for the softer touch. This is definitely one of my more exciting pieces and want to turn into stickers soon.

This Piece is called “Busy River in a Bustling Jungle”. The goal of this piece was to overwhelm the eye with detail and action while remaining a discernible and whimsical scene. The thrifted oil painting it is based on is almost completely covered up with illustrations, puzzle pieces, glass, minerals, crystals, and shells.

This piece is called "He Weeps, For He Knows", I painted it in one sitting at two in the morning. As with most of my art, It was made with the intention of giving anyone who looks at it a mild sense of anxiety that keeps their eyes moving around the canvas. It knows what you did and you can never take it back.

This piece is an exploration of collaboration and a practice of challenging vision by finding something of value in a scribble. That’s how it started, we passed it back and forth until it was golden. It is a deep sea volcano dragon.

"Fly into the cosmos, explore your soul" in Cyrillic.Yuri Gagarin is pictured with a third eye, but most certainly didn't take psychotropic drugs. He was the first human in space. He'd said, "Orbiting the earth in a spaceship,  I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!". I feel a similar attitude on psilocybin. So I coupled that idea with Soviet propaganda style art and spiritual introspection.
