Choir Composition

Media: Music notation on paper

This was a piece that I wrote for a compositional competition. I advanced this piece to the final round of judging, which only 5 students moved on to. This work is made up of 7 pages and I wrote it for SATB and Piano.

This composition I created was inspired by a song titled “Elijah”

Santorini Greece

Media: Watercolor

This is my watercolor inspired by the architecture in Santorini Greece. I choose to paint the church because of it’s beautiful blue dome and inspiring architecture made from stone. This painting was made by first sketching the picture, painting it, and then carefully outlining the picture with black marker.

I used a reference photo I found online while looking at the architecture in Santorini.

Stained Memory

Media: Stained Glass

These are two projects that I created while working with stained glass at my high school. The first project is a stained glass window of a butterfly. I then made the stained glass flower as an extra project for my mother which was difficult because of its many layers soldered on top of each other.

I am thankful for the woods teacher who helped me get the base for my flower, and for my arts teacher who taught me the stained glass techniques.

Gods hand

Media: Pencil

I drew this sketch because I wanted to challenge myself to shade the famous hands from Michelangelo’s

The Creation of Adam.

I found my reference online.

Living Room

Media: Camera Photography

During a beautiful home show I took photos of this homes interior architecture. This is one of my favorite rooms and pictures that I took. What I particularly like about this room is the architecture seen on the ceiling and how the slopes are artfully created.

I took this photo and then edited it using Lightroom Classic.

Clair de lune

Media: Music on the Harp

I learned Debussy’s Clair de lune as a song for a harp competition. Through many drilled spots and practicing hours I was able to feel confident going into my performance.

I am thankful for my harp teacher who helped me break down and learn this piece.
