"Rainforest Fir"
"Rainforest Fir" is an illustration created for the Walt Disney Family Museum's "Spirit of the Season" exhibition. The theme was our natural world and the way that it ties together with the holiday season. This illustration takes inspiration from the abundant varieties of foliage one can find in the jungle, and the classic Christmas tree, combining the two and arranging them into a vibrant jungle Christmas tree. Pines and Evergreens are the conventional choice for these famous trees, but thats to the various sizes and colors of the leaves and flowers that grow in the jungle, this tree doesn't need the help of additional ornaments and tinsel - its beauty stands on its own!

"Eyes Off, Paws Off"
“Eyes Off, Paws Off” is a poster assignment for USF’s Illustration class, with the topic being on any contemporary social issue. The artist chose to focus and raise discussion on the issue of catcalling, taking the literal words that make up the name to create the slogan, “Eyes Off, Paws Off”. The illustration show harassers and predators portrayed as chilling, cat-like shadows with claws lashing out to their victim in the center. Being passionate about the awareness of this ongoing issue, the artist felt that taking an imaginative but direct approach to the topic makes the piece effective in terms of creating discomfort both in seeing the shadows reaching out and the exposed victim showing an obvious face of disgust that many victims may hold back or are too afraid to express when they are experiencing it.
