First Projects

So i've started creating work for Senior Seminar. I've built a couple of panels and have gotten some stuff down on them. One aspect of myself i plan to concentrate on is how much i've moved around and how important aspects of my life are all along the East Coast. Im starting off with maps that pinpoint important parts of my life and where they are located. From there I will use a mixed media method to complete the painting.

I have also started work on a small panel which I feel really good about working on. I think it will be a challenge to work this small but as if working on a more intimate scale will help in making my work my personal. I think I may try to do a few paintings that are no bigger than 1'x2' large. Spending my senior year doing work about me I feel that a more intimate approach might be a more logical way of going about my paintings. 

While talking with Ethan about my work he pointed out something I had said while we were talking. I had said, Finally a guy who treats me right. This is a sentence that he said I should consider when creating my work. I think this is a good starting point considering the way I've been treated by guys in the past.
