Shark Scuplture

This is my most recent sculpture. It is a depiction of a life sized nurse shark made out of sheets of yuan.  

Sketchbook pieces

These are two drawings from my sketchbook. The first one is poking fun at the stereotypical 'bro' you will find at a party. The one underneath is just a still life done in charcoal. 

Wire Tree Sculpture

This is a wire sculpture piece that I made last year for my conceptual practices class(Spring 2011). The assignment was to make three different pieces: one representing beauty, one representing art, and another representing irony(this one was beauty)

Jellyfish Sculpture

This was my very first steel sculpture piece and I am madly in love with this piece. Its all steel welded together and I am very happy with how it came out. This picture was taken after I finished it(It is intended to be hung). 

Painting Pieces

These are two paintings that I did for last semester(spring 2011) painting class. They first one is a still life of some fabric and a candle. The second one is an appropriation piece of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night with the candle from the still life in the painting. 

Family of Wolves

This is a drawing from my sketchbook. It is one copy out of two(I made a much larger version). It is called La Famillia De Los Lobos it was done in ink and watercolor. 

Painted TOMS

Over this past summer, I bought myself a pair of TOMS(If you don't know what/who they are, TOMS is a shoe company that sells really comfortable shoes and every pair you buy they give a pair of shoes to a child in need) but rather then ordering it online I went to a local store to buy a pair. However, when I went to the store they were out of the color that I wanted, but they had my second color choice. So I bought them already thinking about what design I was going to put on them, and I came up with this. It is acrylic paint and gesso and I wear them all the time and I get compliments(sometimes offers) on them wherever I go. 

Mural

For Father's Day I painted this mural for my Dad in the kitchen at my home( I live in West Palm Beach). It took me about three days to finish it but it came out better than I thought it would. This will probably be how I'll be getting money when I go home next.  

Shark Installation

This is my final project for my Conceptual Practices class from last semester(Spring 2011). It was part of a class collaboration installation where we constructed dangerous animals(mine is made of chicken wire, PVC, and plaster) and place them around campus to give the passerby a sense of uncomfortableness from the fact that there are all theses animals around campus that shouldn't be there.
