kidnapped collection

My collection of paintings is based on the kidnapping of my father. All depicting a tough moment in my life. The expositions use dark tones to explore my tortured past. In contrast, the bright colors represent the hope of a new life. Each painting begins with a wide variety of sketching and doodling. Until finally finding a way to properly portray my paintings. Hard but indulging, when finding the right ways to illustrate.

Mood board for garment


paper garment

A fish, was the first thing i thought of when i made this garment. a fishes scales are like his skin that help him protect his insides. the tale helps him swim away from danger.
the blue scales are made out of tiny blue "petal" form papers that I hand cut from drawing paper and dipped in blue paint. the fish tale is made from special lace looking paper. 




book cover

I chose to make this book cover with the silhouette of a girl looking for her father. Feeling lost and empty attempting to help her family. 
To make this poster board I drew a picture of the silhouette of a girl and passed it to illustrator where i added a photo of my father and a view that me and him recently took a picture with in the original photo.
