Delicious
Artist Statement: I took this picture on Saturday afternoon when my Dad cut open a watermelon for lunch. I have always loved watermelon. For as long as I can remember it has been one of my favorite fruits. I am very proud of this picture because I think that it captures the beauty in everyday things. I think that pictures can tell a lot about a person's everyday life.
Unique
Artist Statement: This is a picture that I am very proud of. I love that red is accent on it. This is very important to me because my grandmother always wears red as an accent color. This picture reminds me of her as well. I love red because of it's vibrant color and how it "pops" in a picture.
Ray of Hope
Artist Statement: I took a picture of these tulips because they are my favorite type of flower. I gave these flowers to my mother for mother's day. I wanted to capture how beautiful they are. I love the shape and the texture of the petals. I am always very impressed by their shape and how alive they look.
Spring is Coming
Artist Statement: I took this picture in my backyard this weekend after it had just rained. I love taking pictures of chives. I like taking pictures of chives because I have many summer memories of them. I think that they create very cool patterns. I chose to bring back the purple because I wanted this to be the main focus of the image.
Stars on Earth
Artist Statement: I took this picture in my front yard right after it rained. I love how the rain drops on the leaves of the plant add extra texture to the picture. I also like how the texture of the wood chips add to the picture. I love this picture because of the shape of the leaves. This plant reminds me of a Star on a Starry Night.
