Self Study One:
Roadtripping & Traveling:
As we became empty nesters, my husband and I decided to have more adventures! In this image I show only a small sampling. I used images from a trip to San Francisco of the Redwoods and our cable car tickets. I use transparency, burns and masks throughout. The majority of the photos are from our road trip to Cabo San Lucas (with the exception of one from the Bahamas). We drove across country from the East Coast to California and all the way down the Baja. Such a wonderful adventure!
Self Study Two:
Doodle Love:
Our puppies might as well be considered our children. They certainly act like little humans! Golden Retrievers were the breed we always had until our son developed asthma. So Golden Doodles came into our lives and we have not looked back. Such personalities and so smart – without the shedding. In the top left corner, I have added my collection of Funko POPs! that represent each puppers we have had in our family. If you can’t tell there is a theme to their naming. 😉 I used many masks and filters throughout.
Self Study Three:
Quarantine Life!:
Of course I just had to do a piece revolving around the last few months! I did the main drawing in class this past spring semester to make us all laugh. The gloves, toilet paper and social distancing guidelines help too depict the way of the world that we are living in during Covid-19. For tools, I used pattern, burns, masks, color, and probably more!
Self Study Four:
My Three Crazy Kids:
The joys of my life! When they aren’t making me crazy, as I am sure any parent can relate to. These photos were pulled from events over the past few years. My son played college baseball and loved to make crazy plays in the outfield. My one calm and studious child, I am sure you can pick out, loves photography so this composition was fitting. Lots of masks, filters and blending in this image.
Self Study Five:
A Not So Secret Fangirl:
For anyone who knows me, or sees me around town, they can figure out my favorite character and movie pretty quickly. I worked for Disney many years ago and the magic stuck. The background image is the Disney Family Museum in San Fransisco. Also included in my fandom nerdiness are Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. Also lots of masks, filters and blending in this image.
