"Helen Keller Simulator"
Helen Keller is probably one of the most recognized figures in history. You know her story, but, have you ever wondered what it was like to be her?
Peace Tree
This is my Peace Tree, created in response to an in school assignment. The task was to create a tree that had symbolism. Mine is pretty obvious, and I think the concept is pretty cool. I'm not a fan of Color Pencil, although it did help bring out my graphic art side. I'd like to try this over in pencil, but for now, here is Peace Tree!
See it on Deviant Art!

BLOG - Jack Reed's Art Competition
Hello everyone; Hope this message finds you well! I just got back from a ceremony for Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed's annual Art Competition. I was dreading going to this because I didn't place, and didn't want to end up depressed. Well, I am extremely happy that I went.My mother and my Grandma tagged along. We got to the mall (where the ceremony was held) early, and had lunch. After that, we made our way over to the art exhibit. All I can say is, WOW. Some of the pieces on display put mine to shame. (I'll include the first, second, and third place pieces in this blog; you can see some of the other entries, if you have a facebook, by clicking here.) The exhibit was just a massive showcase of talent. I was in awe walking up and down the rows. I finally made my way over to MY piece... and to my surprise, I got an "Honorable Mention"! Okay, so it's not a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but HM is still pretty awesome, considering this fact: A piece that won the "Scholastic's Art & Writing" competition did not place or receive an HM. I felt honored, but at the same time disappointed. Jack Reed did not personally choose the winners; a panel of judges did, and I feel like they were a bit subjective with their choosing (not to take anything away from the winners, because they were amazing). And that statement in the parenthesis is absolutely true! Here are the winners in order, 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Each school in the state is allowed to submit 3 entries; my school only submitted two. Well, we totally represented the town, because the other student, my friend Kristen, took 3rd place!! It was such an amazing feeling! To top off the euphoria we were experiencing, my friend and artist
Ruth Dealy (whom I've written about in a previous blog) came by to see me; that just warmed my heart. She provided so many comforting words that really touched me and gave me some amazing advice which I hold dearly. "Always do what you love, and what you feel is right..." she said, also telling me not to worry about my future because I will do well. It feels so nice to have supporters like her, and it just drives me to accomplish the goals I have set for myself.
While we were waiting for the ceremony, my mom went around the exhibit while my grandma and I rested on a bench. My mom kept going over to my piece and listening to the comments that people were saying. For some reason, everyone was attracted to mine. It always had a group of people around it, which also sparked excitement and confidence on my end. One woman even said she would pay good money to have it! I was like, "DANG... want me to draw you a few?" Haha! That was so cool to see. I also gathered a few email addresses to send my films too, because my mom wouldn't stop bragging. Hey, it all begins with networking, so, that's exciting!
I'll leave it at that, and edit this post and include a few pictures. Thanks for reading!

BLOG - Blog Revamp & Twitter?
Hello everyone! Hope this message finds you well! I just edited by blog, and remodeled it a bit. I've neglected coming here, and need to get back into it. There are new art works I have to add here too, which I am excited about!
Also, I joined Twitter. I never really knew what it was about, but then I heard on the radio that Christina Applegate started a petition there regarding the cancellation of "Samantha Who?". Although I don't consider myself a loyal watcher (partly because I never know when it is on; which essentially caused it to be canceled), I think it is a hilarious sitcom which really needs to be saved. So, I signed up to Twitter and gave my support to the cause. Now, I am addicted to Tswitter. I even added a Twitter Widget to my blog(s), and connected it to my myspace. The cool thing about Twitter is that it's in real time, and many celebs are on it. (For God's sake; I'm following OPRAH and Ellen and- and- and- Christina Applegate, and Martha Stewart (not sure why), and my local news channel. It's fun! Please follow me if you're on it! My link is up top.
Now, as for real life stuff. I know my previous blog about my meeting with Ruth Dealy says differently, but I am going to attend the University of Rhode Island in September. I am so excited about starting college, and surprisingly excited about starting there. I really wanted to go to a legit art school, but we just can't swing tuiton. URI is still a tough reach, but it's a great school with a fantastic film program. So, I am going there, and really just cannot wait to learn and get started. Perhaps in the future, I will transfer, but I don't know yet. URI has this program where I can study abroad, or somewhere in the country. My ideal goal is to get to California where the business is. I really want to shine and create a strong portfolio during my time at URI to prepare myself when the opportunity for a job is presented. The film industry is competitve, and small windows of opportunity open for a split second; I want to be prepared. I want to learn, and I cannot wait to move on to the next chapter of my life!
That's all I have to say at the moment. My final exams for school are just about done, and I will be graduating in a week. It's so hard to imagine that; time just flew by. I made up my mind today that I am going to be successful (Yeah- like I can really just DECIDE on that, haha) But, I did decide on that because I am determined and ready to learn! Life is so exciting, isn't it??
