Project: Narrative Illustration

This collection showcases my focus on visual storytelling, specifically through the lens of nostalgia and companionship. Using a combination of traditional and digital media, I explore the emotional weight of childhood memories and the quiet moments of connection.

The National Award Pieces

• "Bearied" (National Gold Medal): This piece uses a mix of color pencil and watercolor to explore themes of being overwhelmed yet protected by memories of the past.

• "Study Buddies" (National Silver Medal): A blend of watercolor and digital art that captures a moment of quiet focus and shared presence between a student and their cat.

• Artistic Theme: These works are part of a broader AP portfolio centered on the concept of nostalgia, utilizing animals like bears and cats to symbolize comfort and growth.
