I drew this in February. I was really impressed with myself and so was my family. Then, I went to the Mural camp and recieved a pamphlet talking about the contest. I was really excited so I started painting the picture the same day the I got the news. When I was done, I was even MORE impressed with myself and even MORE excited! Hope you like my painting! (Sorry about the blurry pic. My webcam isn't that sharp. Believe me, it's way better than it looks in this picture.)

This painting represents that ever present "What IF" or "IF only" that hovers in the back of peoples minds.

I enjoy playing with shadows to make objects seem to be in motion. It's a nice twist to a classic still life.

The idea behind this work came from a found object that I bought at a small local antique store in Ames, Iowa. The object was made of cigarette packages folded together in a ring. I learned that it was classified as prison art and used as a trivet. I created a silver component that complimented the object; ultimately creating a bracelet. After I created that work, I took the folded ring apart and learned how it folded together into itself. From there, I created a smaller version of the bracelet using colorful paper with a mica coating and sterling silver. Eventually the design developed into brooches and pendants.
