Work in this area was created from the fall of 2005 to the spring of 2009 while I was attending Brockton High School in Brockton, Massachusetts. This work was created for school projects from various classes at the school, along with other works from self-inspiration to current pop culture. Some won awards, and others expressed what I might have been dealing with at the time.
At BHS, I took courses in multiple course levels, they are Ceramics with Mr. Garcia and Ms. K, Illustration with Ms. Gardner, Mr. Pumpkin, and Mr. Fontina, Drawing and Painting with Ms. O'Brien, Printmaking with Ms. Gardner, Digital Imaging with Ms. Sarah Richards. All shared and prepared me with essential skills needed for school and life that motivated me to continue taking more classes in the art. This study diversified my artist repertoire of knowledge and abilities in multiple medias.
Moreover, you will find my high school portfolio used to apply to MassArt, along with an example of my diverse skill set. I was accepted into MassArt, where I pursue my education and career in Art and Art Education.
