Festivals, Fundraisers, and Showcases

 I love sharing my work and have searched for many opportunities to do so. Below is a list of memorable times I was able to showcase my art and skills chronologically. 

  

• Wasatch Back Student Art Show, Spring 2022. 

  • This show is for students in and around the Park City area. The 2022 theme was "family". I created an interactive piece that prompted viewers to consider what and who they view as family.

• Wasatch Back Student Art Show, Spring 2023. 

  • The 2023 theme was "nature". I created a paper mache bird native to Utah, specifically in the Great Salt Lake ecosystem.

• First OxGallery, September 2023. 

  • After each course block, all the students at the Oxbow School of Art got to present a piece from their respective class. In September, I presented a textile sculpture from my printmaking course. 

• Second OxGallery, October 2023.

  • In October, I displayed two works: the first was a plaster sculpture of a mountain and the second was a plaster cast that lit up under UV lighting. I made both pieces in my sculpture class.

• Third OxGallery, November 2023.

  • In November, I presented an abstract self-portrait I made in my painting and new media course. 

• Oxbow Final Show, December 2023.

  • For the final show, I presented to all of my peers, teachers, friends, family, and other visiting viewers. I made a tall sculpture out of plaster, wax, paper, and string.

• Wasatch Back Student Art Show, Spring 2024. 

  • The 2024 theme was "change". I created a collection of prints carved from one block. 

• Kimball Arts Festival, August 2024.

  • I participated in the Arts Festival with other Young Artists' Academy students. I sold postcards out of the booth and offered live portrait drawings. 

• Kimball Art Center "Back to School Night" Fundraiser, October 2024.

  • After the success of the live portraits at the Kimball Arts Festival, I was asked to teach that skill to the Young Artists' Academy. Then, the interested students joined me in drawing portraits during the fundraiser and encouraging donors to give to the program.
