Wine Label Design
 |
| Wine Label Design - Chablis |
 |
| Wine Label Design - Merlot |
The above wine label design was created in Adobe In-Design and Illustrator using photographs I took of Dale Chihuly's artwork at the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit in Seattle, WA. This project was inspired by Chihuly's artwork and the intention of the label is to visually communicate flavor. If Chihuly had not been a fictional client he would be using this label on the wine that would be sold exclusively at The Collections Café that exists at the exhibit.

The grasshopper and the Carbon Made Face Book
Have you ever chased, gently though, a grasshopper? I did, it took me for a walk around the island in the parking lot near building 17. It was only a small grasshopper, about 2 inches long, with bright yellow wings and wavy black frame upon them when it flew. It would face me watching as I walked. And all I did was follow it. Once it thought to have hidden from me on the median island. I let it rest a bit, until we walked back toward the buildings and then he hopped toward the tree and I veered around to the building. IT was a nice bit of exercise on Saturday.
My collaborative project in Ceramics with Blaine is he made 8 tea bowls. 4 thrown and 4 pinched, that I am decorating with design. I'm hoping to add these as well to the viewing if they come out this week. The cross your fingers and hope that the under-glaze pencil and chalk doesn't fire off.
So this is my cover for my face book page. I invited all of my friends and family to view it.

Spring 2012
This design was created in Graphic Design 2 during the spring semester of 2012 and took a lot of time and work. The background texture was the most fun to create for the design and I made it with snapshots I took of the concrete around campus and then adjusted the blending modes in Photoshop.

Artist statement:
As a pencil artist I feel control and
practice are the two elements that show skill and potential, recreating nature
as best as possible is my ultimate goal when it comes to dry media. My
knowledge in different media is growing and I plan on expressing my creativity
in many different ways, sculpture and 3-D art have caught my eye recently. I am
very critical of my content when it comes to political or awareness projects
while I still enjoy the beauty of nature including portraits, landscapes, and
whatever may catch my eye. My motivation is the reactions of the viewer and the
art itself. Planning for larger pieces is becoming a new experience that is
taking over my previous process of “just doing it”.

Texture Paintings
Size: 11'x20'
Media: live shells, acrylic on canvas, stones, sand
I went to California on Spring break with my husband and was watching the waves come down and I got this idea to do this painting. I was raised in California so this is just a little slice of home for me. It was a painting to keep me centered.
Size: 20'x16'
Media: acrylic on canvas
I was in my painting class with extra paint and I decided to play with it. I blocked in some areas and sprayed it with a bottle and this is what it came out like.
Size: 16'x20'
Media: Acrylic on canvas
I was playing with different ideas and textures and this is what I came up with.

March 2012 A few Days of Change. Views of Thumb Butte Prescott Az
A Digital Photo made with a small Cannon camera.
I had heard that the weather would be changing that week in March of 2012 and decided
to see if I could get some of the morning images of the spectacular geologic formation known as Thumb Butte. This is what we see every day at the end of our parking area where we live in Prescott. It is a fantastic view.

Bather Study 1
Charcoal on Acid Free Sketch Paper
9 inches by 12 inches
April 2012
Life Drawing 1 Homework final exercises required us to choose an art period style artist or artists and do drawings in that style. Unable to get family to pose for similar settings I had to opt for copying the images from color images found on the web. The reason I am showing these drawings is I am very proud of myself to have been able to actually learn to draw better by "seeing" what was there and not letting my brain "add" to the forms. I also choose works from people who actually went to school together in the 1860s in Paris. Renoir, Bazille and Monet. The influence of Courbet is seen in Renoir's work with the Bather.

Having time to do something is the most important part of an artists life. Family often does not understand that your work is very important to your own self image and morale. It is not impossible to get family members to pay attention and to leave you alone, time fly's so fast though and what may seem like moments to you has been hours for them in waiting.

Threshold Cover 2012
Digital Media
9"x 12"
February 2012
This edition of Threshold was a bit different. It was a combination of student art, inspirational writings, and blank pages to write or draw on. The cover is a beautiful print by Leslie Parsons and I added the title and offset the "New Perspective" line to give the viewer a different perspective. The back I created in Photoshop to match the front. I also kept the back cover simple like a notebook would be.

May 2012
This was a project in my graphic design 2 class. I mixed my drawings and grungy texture to create a punk CD and cover design.
Personal logo, business card and letterhead
This logo, letterhead and business card were designed for my Graphic Design class, this month. The logo was constructed in Illustrator. I stacked the words Silver Raven over the word Design in 2 different but complimentary fonts. I incorporated a raven where the i should be in design for emphasis. The outline started as a rectangle then I rounded 2 of the corners and added a feather inspired brush stroke to it. The letterhead and business card were also created in illustrator using a piece of grey paper that I scanned. The logo is a vector graphic and can be reproduced any size.
Embossing on Water Color Paper
12"x 36"
This design was carved on layers of diverse paper materials and textures, then set over pre-soaked water color paper that finally was squeezed and pressed in between two rolls to apply great amount of pressure to produce each piece. The original mold of carved layers and textures only produced eight copies in total, before it was flatted by the repetitive proses and pressure applied.
