art gallery

Welcome to my Art Gallery!! I won't lie, I am not an artist by any means.. but I am pretty crafty. If you read my "about me" page, you'd have seen that I am big on creative outlets - I love to crochet, scrapbook, junk journal, and in here you'll see I love loveeee love my oil pastels. During my time in college, it has been a fun way for me to decompress, have fun, and be [imyself.

This piece - which I call "3 girls 3 moods" - I made during winter break (a million years ago). I had no specific "muse", but I do love drawing people in fun ways!

This one is a "kind-of" self portait. I called it "an oil pastel gal". I am not that great at getting true resemblance or realism in my art... but I thought this was a cutesy little attempt at drawing myself. I cut my hair since then and am currently growing it out (my curls have suffered enough)

Now this one.. I totally was inspired by a pastel piece on Pinterest (my wholy grail hellooo) but I totally forgot their handle. This one is my own rendition of "Space cat". The pastels I was using I got as a birthday present from a dear friend of mine. It was fun updating her on all my creations.

This last one is of a weird cat.. I wish I could tell you what it means or why I made it but truly it was just for fun. I haven't picked up my oil pastels in months. This whole summer has been so busy, but I hope to add to my little art gallery of more pastel pieces and even some crochet or journal pages I conjure up!
