St. Luke, Oil on wooden board, acrylic paint, 6"x6" *
St. Luke,one of Christ's apostles, is also portrayed as an ox in symbol and also the patron saint of artists. I painted this as a present for my sister, who is also an artist and a Christian. Combined with the religious and artistic symbolism, this gift contains significant meaning for my family and I.

Aspire Higher, board, oil on plaster, acrylic, paper, flower petals (14"x11")
This piece won the 2014 Reflections Art contest at my high school. I  wanted to show how we can aspire to be better by rising out of the chaos around us, and I believe I was able to do that in this painting.
