I made this collage for a color family assignment in one of my classes and it is one of my favorites. Clearly I was working with earthtones on this one. It started with me trying to find images of naturally occurring objects in order to best capture earthtones, rather than use false examples of the [...]

Over spring break my friends and I challenged each other to bring back gifts for one another, and this tin was given to me by Annalise. Worlds of Fun is an amusement park in Kansas City, MO. I’m not sure if that is where it came from, but she found it in a [...]

I went to Oregon the weekend before last to visit my friend Mary. I scavenged her computer for blog-worthy content, and came across these sound clips of bird calls. Mary is doing an internship researching wildlife for Tallgrass National Prairie Preserve in Kansas, and the director of her program sent these to her. [...]
Doesn’t Matter If You’re Black or White…or Off White

I made this collage for a color-family assignment in Visual Merchandising. This was my neutrals composition. I like it a lot because of the generally soft shapes. Apparently, I can’t cut anything in any shape other than a rectangle/square. I’m working on it. My theme/story for this collage was ‘beauty [...]

So, yesterday I went to the Green Apple Music Festival at Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park. As my group was searching for the rest of our friends, we came upon another amazing floral display on the ground. I found out that these compositions are called mandalas. They are used extensively during [...]
The Encyclopedia of Antiques

Tuesday night on Nob Hill is trash night which means there is always stuff sitting out next to the sidewalk waiting for a new owner to come along. My friend Nicole was walking home from Astronomy on Tuesday and found this book, The Complete Encyclopedia of Antiques, edited by L.G.G. Ramsey. The entire [...]

This is a picture that was taken on a road trip to Meadow Vista at some rest area park. There were so many ducks and geese of so many different sizes. As I was waiting for an opportunity to take a picture of them, these five all lined up outside the car. They remind me [...]
Re-purposing Is The Best…

As a Fashion Journalism major at the Academy of Art, I am clearly meant to be a periodical junky. Often, I spend about $80 a month on various fashion/art/culture rags, and I am always plagued with guilt when it comes time to dispose of the ones that I don’t keep for my library. So what [...]

My friend Mary, who lives in Salem, Oregon, came down to SF to visit me during her Spring Break, and while she was here we wanted to go to the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park. As we walked through the park I began showing her and her friend, Marleta, all of the places [...]
A Sentimental Heart

Last summer, my friend Cassie Raney, a fine art photographer at the Academy of Art University, spent the break taking photos in our native Oklahoma. Her photos are all shot in natural light, and this one was taken in my back yard near a sailboat in my neighbor’s yard. That’s me in the [...]
