Senior Show

This semester, I completed my Art major by completing a series of work as my final Senior Show project. All 8 completed pieces are currently hanging on campus and will remain up until the afternoon of May 7th.

 

While I hope to get a photography page up within the next couple months just to showcase my growth and improvement in this skill I have become extremely fond of and passionate about. And while this is not the ideal way to display my work online I still wanted to post that the digital photographs from my Senior Show are for sale:

 Artist Statement and Inspiration

 

Mr. Cuddles, my first dog, served as the inspiration for my show. Cuddles saved not only myself from loneliness and heartbreak but he helped my mother in her darkest times of physical and spiritual need. His spirit showed us the way to light and hope. He was more than a dog, he was an eternal blessing from Heavenly Father.

President Joseph F. Smith said, “Men cannot worship the Creator and look with careless indifference upon his creations. The love of all life helps men to the enjoyment of a better life. Wisdom and virtue come from the animal… which carries with it a spiritual as well as a material blessing. Nature helps us to see and understand God. To all His creations we owe an allegiance of service and a profound admiration.”

Through the use of color theory and these beautiful dogs. I hope my digital photographs will portray at least a fraction of the joy, love, peace, strength, and hope these spirits have brought into the lives of their loved ones.
