Mixed Media | Digital | Acrylic | Watercolor
I’ve always enjoyed drawing and took art lessons growing up. Below are some of my favorite and recent pieces I’ve made. Nowadays I mostly make art for friends and family as gifts, buts its also something I’d like to spend time doing for myself!
Self Portrait: A Jungle of Thoughts
Colored pencil mixed media inspired by the following poem:“My mind is an overgrown jungle,and your axe blade won't help you at all,because the vines of my pain are too thick here,and the thorns of my sorrow too tall.My mind is an overgrown jungle.There's no entrance to let you inside,in fear that you'll cut down my branches,and find the feelings I've worked so hard to hide.The vines tie in knots in my jungle,to form a rooftop that blocks out the light,so the sun might be warm on the outside,but the inside's as cold as the night.There's a house made of thorns in my jungle,I've spent years making it feel like home,I can do anything I want here,to take my mind off the fact that I'm alone.Because the problem with overgrown jungles is there's always more vines that will sprout,and I know it's hard to get in here,but it's ten times harder to get out.”- e.h. @thepoeticunderground

Hold Me, I’m Shattering.
Oil pastel on cardboard inspired by the following poem“I keep so much paininside myself.I grasp my angerand lonelinessand hold itin my chest.It has changed meinto somethingI never meant to be.It has transformed meinto a personI do not recognize;But I don't know howto let it go.”- S.J.B.
Love's Battlefield
Acrylic on topographic map inspired by following poem“I have a raging battle between my head and my heart.‘Maybe we are here to love wildly, passionately, and fearlessly,’ whispered the heart.‘You are going to get us all killed!’ yelled the brain.”- R

Watercolor Sketch

Unrequited
Mixed media inspired by following poem
“You warned me we're all made of glass,
That our lives are far too thin,
So why did I not believe you,
'Til it was your shards in my skin,
Now these scars upon my fingers,
Run too deep to just forget,
Despite the wilted roses,
From the first time that we met,
And I don't know why I told you,
I was good at letting go,
For all I do now's watch dead flowers,
And pray somehow they will grow.”
