This is a self-portrait I did while looking looking at myself through the Photo Booth camera on my iMac. It is currently hanging at the store Funk and Standard in Red Bank, NJ in a gallery with my art school Inspired Minds. I enjoyed experimenting with typography, color, and beads.

I painted this self-portrait for the Monmouth County Teen Arts Festival 2010, which is a festival each March where teens throughout the county can enter artwork. Within my art class at Inspired Minds Art School, we were assigned to make a piece with 2 different textures. I chose to excentuate the background and the hair on the figure. We were also assigned to frame the piece without using a traditional frame. I chose to collage a frame with images and words that represent myself.

After finishing the play Hamlet in my English class this year, we were assigned to create any kind of project we could think of based on the novel. I decided to paint the scene where Ophelia drowns, because I found it to be the most striking part of the play.
