AP Statement: My concentration involves images of nature, specifically flowers, from around the world. The idea came from a picture I took of a dream tree in a farming village in Kakheti, Georgia. I tied a piece of fabric with flowers in it to the tree and photographed it. Since then I have tried to capture images of flowers that encompass an interesting composition. I began using oil paint as my primary medium. My series has progressed to involve several different types of media such as pencil and pastels. I decided to attempt to recapture two of my oils using a technique known as monoprinting. My concentration now consists of several medias as well as several techniques. Through the media and techniques used I have tried to capture the organic shapes, light and dark values, and natural balance of each piece. With an emphasis on value, line, and shape my portfolio is an expression of my travels around the world represented by flowers.=====
