Altered Toys Project
After some challenges with using the full version of ZBrush from the mini version, I have finalized my design! I am creating a spin on my childhood favorite Littlest Pet Shop. I think I am calling my version “Little Scaries”. I plan on adding strange and unusual painting to the finished product. If I have…
3D Doodles
I had fun playing around with the software we’re using. Zbrush is awesome for me because I have always loved working with clay and this gives the same feel without the mess! TinkerCAD is very user friendly. I did have an incident in ZBrush where I created a detailed piece and the software crashed, causing…
Lantern Project
*FINAL UPDATE 5/4/21* Its finished!. Unfortunately my side panels were the slightest bit too small and the lamp base won’t fit in completely 🙁 It would be tedious to re-cut all these panels and refinish them, so I am keeping it how it is for now, until I can get a smaller base! It looks…
Layers Project Final
Here it is! Alice is finally complete after lots of painting and cleaning up. I am not entirely happy with this piece, but I a pleased with the risks I took and how I worked around issues. If I would do this project over, I would’ve worked more with the accuracy of my sizing and…

Just this week I have been able to start laser cutting. I am very pleased with how my monstera engraving came out….
Layers Concept Sketch
My idea for this Alice in wonderland piece was inspired by the comic art style of Mitch McGee. I was brainstorming comics/cartoons and thinking of layers brought me to the idea of falling then boom! Alice going down the rabbit hole. I am still debating on the final material I will be using. Acrylic or…
Drawing #2 + #3
I decided to keep it simple for my raster engrave and create a monstera leaf piece. Monstera leaves are beautiful and I thought you could still capture their beauty even with minimalist engraving. After playing around with p5.js I created something reminiscent of a slinky. It is a bit trippy and if you look a…
Drawing #1
When thinking of something important in my life, I tend to fall into the generic “Oh!, my family of course.” route. However, it is very true. Through it all, my parents have been my cheerleaders and I am forever grateful for that. I wanted to take my first opportunity in art to create something to…
