3. High school &
College
I attended New World school of the arts where I
learned to hone in my technical skill, explore
conceptual art making, and explored all kinds of
media such as painting, drawing, sculpture and
photography.
the work I created at New World helped me become
a Youngarts National Finalist for fine art in 2017,
and got me accepted to several prestigious
art/design colleges in the country. Such as School
of the art institute chicago, Art center college of
design in Pasadena, California College of the arts ,
Calarts, and Maryland institute college of art
which is the college I currently attend !

4. the next few slides are my strongest works
from my time in high school which i used in
my portfolio to apply to colleges my senior year
these are mixed media paintings on
paper, I used paint, water color, lipstick
,pencil and markers. I use a mixture of
realistic and abstract elements in my
paintings.

8. Artworks made at maryland Institute college of art
I applied to Maryland institute
college of art as a fine arts major
but soon fell in love with textile
design and experimental fashion. I
ended up majoring in Fiber studies,
My work now involves digital
weaving, knitting, printing on
fabric. screenprinting, textile design
& fashion design. Drawing and
painting is where I get my
inspiration for my design’s so my
work is still rooted in my original skill
set.

then turned into a dress.
