Freedom

My Inner Child

Fight it.

Photoshop/Illustrator

Peace

Peace: a relaxed, zen, and calming emotion.

Take a moment for yourself. Breathe deeply. Eat food you love. Sit in a quite place. Love yourself. Schedule in a little bit of peace and centering into your life everyday, and see the wonders it will bring.

Love

Love, not necessarily romantic love, is the best feeling in the world. The warmth you feel knowing that you care about someone and they care about you the same in incomparable.

Loneliness

Look at description for "Disappointment" =)

Disappointment

For this assignment we were just given five different emotions and told to do as we wish. This is how "Disappointment" turned out for me. All of the pieces in the series have the same style, but different colors in the background, different trees, and different people to represent and possibly evoke the emotion. Enjoy! -Katie

Self Portrait

Here's my self portrait. This one took about 3 hours and was done in Photoshop. I would talk more about it but I like people to take in and figure out symbolism because art means something different to everyone. Having me just tell you what I was thinking when I created it ruins your creative interaction with my artwork. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one. -Katie

Portrait of a Celebrity

This image was created in Photoshop in 2008 and the "celebrity" is Alexis Bledel. I don't have much to say about this one, except that I actually really hated the assignment, and despite that, I really love how it turned out.

Partay!

This is a card I made for my best friend on her 18th birthday. The stamps used were from Stampin Up! and the pink paper is from Michael's. She absolutly adored the card, especially because it was a simple homemade gesture. I highly suggest doing this, especially for people you are close with because a little personalization goes a very long way.

Take Out

This adorable takeout box was made for my boyfriend when he went on a camping trip in 2008. Everything was handstitched and took me about 3 hours. The box is made of stiff felt and the noodles are made of yarn. This was a very fun project to create and my boyfriend loved it.

Turning Trash into Treasure

This is proof that $0.75 jars from Wal-Mart can be used in very creative ways. I was looking all over for cotton jars and I simply could not find a single one that fit my taste. I ended up coming home with these jars and whipped out my hot glue gun and some ribbon to match my bathroom and viola! Two adorable cotton jars for $1.50!

Dream On

This is a piece I worked on in 2007. It is my favorite of all of the artwork I have done, so I saw it to be fitting for my first post. I got this in an art show for the county I attended highschool in, and even though the poster did not turn out how I had planned, I could not be more happy with it. I spent about 15 hours on this poster and I drew everything with the pen tool on Illustrator. Originally the picture had "imigination" written all the way up to the book, but I lost it because my computer did not have the font I used at school.
