3. These paintings were done over a period of 4 years, at the end of high school
throughout college.
The paintings are in chronological order to show the evolution of my work.
The selected paintings range from still lifes, portraits and figurative paintings.
The time line of the paintings start at a time where I had little guidance,
through a period of strict supervision and then returning to a period with
less supervision. The pieces in this collection are done with various mediums
and are in an assortment of sizes.
