More recent artwork

A self portrait-largest one done- on a wood panel with acrylic paint
2012 36"x 24" 
This more expressive abstract utilizes several colors together to create a metaphorical meaning. MLK's civil disobedience style to contribute to the Civil Rights era was an obvious turn in American history. Thus, this piece attempts to capture his vision. 2012 8.5" x 11.5"

Since Lennon's birthday was nearing, I  decided to do a portrait in his honor. This style is a combination of Warhol with a bit of a warped element to it, with an thin line between realistic and cartoonish. 2012 11.5" x 17"

To create a visually stunning effect, I decided to use paint splatters. The process began with research of different types of butterflies, as well as different styles that I could do them in. First made with ink pen, I added on watercolor later. 2012 11.5" x 17"


I decided to have a hand at reflections in the water again to visualize my growth as an artist; this landscape was an ink wash piece. The use of pen afterwards was to add more detail. 2012 10" x 13.5" 
In order to add diversity to my city art, I went for this aerial view of Boston at the John Hancock tower. The complexity of the buildings and the composition as a whole make it a personal favorite. 2012 14" x 11.5"

This particular coastal city is a personal favorite, due to its fantasy nature and personalized touch, as well as interest in added color. While not a real place, some buildings and style may be reminiscent of certain places. My hometown of Lexington can be seen in parts of this city. Instead of going for a realistic look, I opted for a more peaceful, imagined look to it. 2012 24" x 18"

This is another imagined city piece, based on the architecture of Cyprus and the Mediterranean . With a different  point of perspective, it exudes an aura of the sea. 2012 10.5" x 14.5"

Another personal favorite; this fantasy world landscape can express my mind's creation as it develops elaborate places that may never exist. Though it's most likely not real, it's a visually appealing world. 2012 5.5" x 8.5"

This abstract portrait was an experiment in abstract portraits. To create an expressive mood, certain colors were utilized. 2012 11.5" x 17" watercolor and ink

A nature themed portrait, the woman has a somewhat carefree  attitude to her face; made with  a minimalist mindset. 
2012 11.5" x 17" watercolor and ink

The portrait was initially graphite, and went to ink and water color, with a simple style used to convey the light fashion of this work
 2012 11.5" x 17" watercolor and ink

These landmarks were part of an audition portfolio for an  arts program. They were the beginnings of my interest in architectural art, displaying the craft of people from different countries. These four pieces showed diverse style in architecture, which greatly interested me.
2010 8.5" x 11"
