Marilyn Manroe
This piece was created during my first year of highschool when I was developing my skill with a simple pencil and paper. I enjoyed working on this drawing as I worked with my favourite medium in a simple manner with an iconic subject

Ghandi
I did this piece for a religious project which was meant to inspire change and charity towards others. The subject for this particular project was Ghandi, a man who devoted his life to doing just that.

Cherry Blossom
As an aspiring artist trying to figure out my path in life I enjoyed exploring different mediums to express my creativity. One was through body art or tattooing as I thought of displaying my artwork on the most beautiful canvas the world had to offer, the human body. This piece was part of a 4 piece series on body art within different cultures. This was a great experience as it was the first time I had the opportunity to display my ideas on such a large canvas. The subject depicts a young woman undressed with a tattoo of a cherry blossom tree representing her growth through life and the beauty within women.

Manhood
The human body has always been an appealing subject matter within my art work and I enjoy displaying that interest in black and white. The subject for this piece was a young man who has developed over time to fill the build of a man.
