Regional Gold Medal - VASE 2020
"This piece illustrates a story about a girl named Lucki Starr who has all of her emotions and feelings attached to her fingers represented by mini versions of herself with colors that represent the specific emotion but every time she loses a certain emotion or feeling they lose their color (black) and detach. Eventually there will be a time where all her strings detach and she will have to rediscover herself. She is surrounded by a colorful banner which reflects her emotions."

Valerie's View

Drawing - Mixed Media
Regional Gold Medal - VASE 2020
"This was a portrait of my friend named Valeria. I drew her as what she reflects through my eyes. A lot of symbolism was used throughout so some aspects might be questionable but if you know her the symbols are all important aspects of her from the third eye and eyes watching over her representing her spirituality and also the rose reflecting on her relationship life which was lovely at times but pricked like its thorns at others."

Pranavi's Perspective
2020
Drawing - Mixed Media
"This piece is a drawing of my friend Pranavi. I drew her in five Perspectives because her personality seems to have several parts to it but in the end, combined those features make her who she is. The books at the bottom show words in which I feel define her as a whole. The flowers represent her love for nature and the world around her. The symbolism seen in the next was a combined thought of her long neck being symbolized as a stem to make her be the flower that blooms."
