It is my place of inner peace. |

Supercut (2026) Everyone knows what it feels like to lose a friend. I've had my fair share. No one puts it into words better than Lorde in her song Supercut. I wouldn't have made this without my super cool sister pestering me to listen to her album Melodrama over seven years ago. Love ya Rachel! |

The blend of colours in the water is fictional, it embraces and emphasizes texture and rough water ripples, making it more chaotic and unlike smooth water but still calming. |
This work is a surreal drawing of different warm coloured fruits as planets in a cold watercolour universe. A rule I followed when creating it is that there are no rules. At first, I was only going to use planets that were circular because it made more sense, but then I realized nothing about this concept makes sense, so I incorporated fruit I actually wanted to draw like dragon fruit, mango and strawberry. |

|
 Value (2025)Julia Burnett Pencil crayon on paper 22.5 x 26 in In this piece, I wanted to make a statement on society's generalized value system in which a human life is of lesser value than monetary gains. The skull on the right side of the scale represents a human life – or a loss of human life at the hands of those that value personal monetary profit over the lives of others. The luxury items seen on the left side of the scale overflow onto the table, outweighing the skull on the right side, signifying greed. Law books are also present, creating irony considering the unjust situation. |

breathless was an expression of one of the most influential aspects of my life; mental health. One of the greatest difficulties of struggling with mental health is that it is practically invisible to outsiders. This piece depicts the shoulders and neck of a person straining with their head tilted back, almost as if they are being strangled, but there is no apparent cause of the strangulation, similarly to how someone can be struggling but others may not know why or even see the struggle at all. Although I made breathless to express my own struggle with mental health, it is open to interpretation as it can be applied to many situations. |
the flame of youth was created to depict burnout at a young age. The overly melted candles being the representation of its impacts, all while a typical celebration continues around the candles, being that regular teenage life continues regardless of the melting candles. |

This series of three graphite drawings explores my love for architecture. Through the careful lines, shading and perspective, I can compare the idea of creating more like so to a puzzle. Every aspect of the buildings have a place to be. Working in graphite allows me to be as precise as I would like, focusing on light, shadow, and form instead of colour. My goal with these drawings is to invite people to acknowledge how places shape who we are, offering both nostalgia and structure. |

Abstraction uses shapes for other worldly creations, raising questions with viewers. Is it a Giraffe? is an attempt to achieve this, blending interesting shapes and mimicking other animals to draw confusion.

 Awake and Alive (2025)Rita Konyukhova Acrylic on canvas 10 x 8 in Originally, this piece was supposed to have a much darker meaning with the title being Awake. This artwork encapsulates the feeling of restlessness from one's own mind. However, it shifted while listening to Joe Hisaishi's orchestral tracks. A new type of restlessness and an overwhelming feeling of inspiration and admiration for life. There is a feeling of being able to be in the moment, to take from this present moment and carry it with you for the rest of time. I chose to use a hare for their eyes, they see so much, yet there's so little time. |
This piece is heavily inspired by the indie game Journey developed by Thatgamecompany and its concept art. The story telling, music, and visuals make it into a living and breathing piece of art that I can never stop thinking about and it never fails to make me emotional. This piece specifically refers to the track Road of Trials, it reminds me of the immense joy of success and inspiration. The definition of the word 'eudaimonia' means "a contended state of being happy, healthy, and prosperous. ('human flourishing')". I wanted to reflect just that, in all its beauty. |
Life doesn't always turn out the way we want it to. Things go wrong, and we reach the bottom of the barrel, looking for any scraps that may help us. I want to take that feeling and show it through my original character, Falen. He is depicted eating a pomegranate as it often depicts fertility, abundance, and prosperity, which is what he seeks. He's been worn down to the point of stealing pomegranates from humble farmers and churches to hopefully improve his life. The angle, pose, and shadow depicts him getting caught, and his face spells guilt for ever stooping so low. |

 Looking on / Where to go (2025)Arya Boodhai Acrylic and clay on canvas Diptych, 12 in diameter each This piece shows how I sometimes feel as if I'm watching myself from the outside, moving through life and making decisions not knowing what's next. I experience constant feelings of being trapped, wanting control of the decisions I make. It feels like running blindfolded, unable to control my choices or my reactions, yet I'm still the one who will be held accountable for them. |
This piece is a series of four moths native to North America. Each print shows a moth surrounded by the plants it feeds and how animals are deeply connected to their surroundings. Their connection ties them to the regions they are native to; what comes from the land they belong to is also what sustains them. |
This piece features three butterflies, each corresponding to the colors of a stoplight red, yellow, and green, with backgrounds in their opposing colors. I used this work to convey how life can feel rushed at times. In moments when we should stop, we continue moving forward, in moments when we should go, we pause and overthink. When action was needed, we hesitated, and when restraint was necessary, we chose to act. |

 The Lion Head (2024)Ellie Cheng Oil pastel on paper 40 x 40 in This piece shows a side of lions that many people do not usually perceive. Rather than focusing on the power or aggression of lions, the eyes express gentleness and softness, showing a softer form of strength. Using oil pastels, I made sure to blend the textures and the warm tones to enhance the calm mood of the piece. I made this piece to show the common stereotypes of lions and the idea that strength can exist alongside vulnerability. |

 Foundations for the Future (2025)Victoria Tope Watercolour on paper 9 x 12 in This piece was inspired by the varied styles of architecture found throughout Toronto. It explores the stylistic clashes between classical and modern architectural forms, highlighting how architecture has evolved over time. |
My intention with this piece was to explore the duality of emotions, specifically, grief and how it presents itself in different ways. The red eye represents the happier side of grief, and the blue eye represents the sad side of grief. Both eyes are placed on top of each other to show the coinciding two sides of grief, but in different lights the one colour erases and one emotion or eye takes the forefront. |
This piece was created using a single string. It represents the belief that everyone is connected to each other in some way, shape, or form. Together we form an interconnected social body of relationships. |
This abstract sculpture embodies the support within a family structure. Each piece relies on each shape to hold each other pieces up. Without this interconnection, the structure wouldn't balance. This is representative of how a family supports one another, creating an interconnected environment of stability. |

Alexis Bowen love to analyze the world through various media of art, including literature, movies, and visual art. She enjoys how the intentionality behind colour, lighting, and paint strokes can tell a story and display emotions. In her recent art practice, Bowen has been making effort to tell her own stories through these elements. While her work may read as cliche and lacking in originality, she feels this is part of her story growing as an artist. |
 Beauty in Black (2025)Alexis Bowen Acrylic on canvas 12 x 16 in I've always felt ugly and embarrassed of my looks, notably my hair, and so I never wore it out. In the eighth grade, I wore my hair out for the first time in years, and it ended with commentary and crying. I felt as though I had walked out of the house naked. I guess that in a sense I had sort of exposed myself; however, not in a manner that I should've been embarrassed about. Since then, I have grown to love my hair, and my embarrassment has been replaced with pride and appreciation. This painting is for that little Black girl who felt that she had to hide her Blackness. |
When consulting my family and friends on what pieces I should display, I was secretly hoping that they'd all pick this one; however, no one did. But she's one of my favourites, so I display her anyway. Not because she's perfect or is the best depiction of my skills. More so because she has this pain in her eyes that reminds me of my younger self, and it makes me want to hug her and tell her that she is wanted and loved. Art doesn't have to be beautiful; it just has to be real, and she is real. |
Ever since I can remember, I have hated my body. I have hated the way that my stomach protrudes, the flap that dangles from my arms, the rolls that indent my body, the stretch marks that paint my skin, and the flatness of my chest that makes me feel manly. I have cried and cried and cried at reflections and photos, in fitting rooms, and at social gatherings. This isn't my body, although it's one that I've dreamt of since I was old enough to dream. However, it depicts the way that I feel when anyone, including myself, looks at me. |
If I'm being honest, this isn't a very inspired piece; it's simply a cat. But maybe that's the beauty about it—its simplicity. |
For some, this piece may depict the various perceptions that can be had towards one person. Some see them as bright and free; others may see them as sombre and deep. For others, this piece depicts the various perceptions of life. Some see it as an endless stream of opportunity, while others may see it as an endless loop of pain. That's the point of my piece, to showcase the beauty of perception. The beauty is in the fact that a hundred people can see and experience the same thing; however, they will all describe and feel it differently. |

This piece captures melancholy at the end of childhood and adolescence, illustrating the role of nostalgia to cherish the joy of the past. |
| Maria T. Nardi's passion for feminism is the biggest influence on her art; it shapes the way she approaches artmaking.

Cinema and philosophy are an inspiration in Nardi's art, shaping the way she thinks, considers mood, perspective, and communicating concepts visually.

 Gianna, amore (2026)Maria T. Nardi Acrylic on canvas 12 x 12 in This painting is a portrait of my baby sister—technically my half sister, although I've never seen her that way. To me, she represents resilience, new beginnings, and the strength passed down by the women in my family. Although she is a child, the piece shows both softness and quiet strength. Her name and story connect the work to my cultural background and to ideas of legacy and perseverance. Through bright infantile colors and a gentle but direct gaze, the painting shows not just who she is, but the strength behind her presence. |

Sally Keita identity as an artist is deeply connected to their faith and how they experience the world emotionally. Keita uses drawing and painting to express thoughts and feelings that are difficult to put into words; visual art has allowed them to translate love, hope, struggle, and joy into images others can connect in their own way. Biblical stories and spirituality are prominent themes in Keita's art, conveying sincerity, emotion, message of faith and compassion. Outside of school, Keita enjoys creating art for church and younger students. |
 Trevi Fountain (2025) Sally Keita Pencil on paper 12 x 16 in This drawing of the Trevi Fountain represents my interest in classical architecture and sculptural detail. I wanted to capture the movement of the flowing fabric, the strength of the figure, and the balance between structure and motion. I focused on shading and texture to give the illusion of depth and stone, while keeping the composition clear and dramatic. Recreating this famous monument challenged my patience, observation skills, and helped me improve my ability to draw realistic forms. Through this piece, I aimed to show both precision and emotion in a still image. |
This piece is a recreation of The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard; I chose this tov study movement, color, and emotional expression. I focused on capturing the flowing fabric, the sense of motion, and the contrast between light and shadow in the garden setting. Recreating this artwork challenged me to observe fine details while still keeping a soft, dreamlike atmosphere. Through this study, I strengthened my painting techniques and learned how composition and color can guide the viewer's eye and create a feeling of joy and energy within a single moment. |
This piece is inspired by the phrase "dance till you can't," which reflects the tragic story of a ballerina who danced until her body could no longer continue. The hanging pointe shoes reference the street tradition of placing shoes on wires to commemorate lives that were lost, turning the image into a quiet memorial. I chose soft pink skies and gentle clouds to contrast with the heavy meaning behind the subject. Through this painting, I wanted to honor the dedication of dancers while also acknowledging the physical and emotional cost behind perfection and passion. |
The Fall of Icarus (2024) This drawing is inspired by the myth of Icarus and explores themes of ambition, daring, sorrow, escape, and beauty. I focused on the moment of collapse when flight turns into falling to capture both the power and vulnerability of the human body. The wide wings and scattered feathers symbolize hope and freedom, while the falling figure represents the cost of reckless ambition. Through strong shading and dramatic movement, I wanted to express the emotional weight of loss and the tragedy that can follow when desire overcomes wisdom. |
The koi fish represent perseverance and faith as they swim against strong currents, reminding me to face challenges and to not give up. I focused on the smooth movement, looking peaceful and alive, and keeping the background simple to emphasize its strength, patience, and personal growth. |

Owen Shen is a hands-on hobbyist, he loves making things with his hands including pottery, painting, sketching, and sewing. He finds satisfaction in shaping clay, layering colours, and piecing materials together; it is seeing progress and figuring things out in real, tangible ways. Shen's exploration in art spreads across different cultures like pottery in Jingdezhen, China, and designs in Mexican museums. These experiences and experimentation continue to inspire his artistry and the joy of making. |
 Summer Palace (2025)Owen Shen Pen on paper Triptych, 8 x 10 in I had always found it fascinating how pre-modern Chinese kingdoms created such complex and elegant architecture with the technology they had. These three drawings are of one of the architectural structures in the Summer Palace, an Imperial Garden in Beijing, built in the Early Qing Dynasty. I wanted to capture the building's intricate details on the roof, tiles, and beams while also highlighting its defining presence in its environment. This drawing led me to create three more drawings of different scales and focus. |
I painted this piece near the end of March Break, inspired by the beautiful winter scene at my school, Saint Andrews College. Being one of the representative and historical architectures on campus, I chose to paint our Chapel. This is a building every student has sat in weekly since 1926 and holds the names of students who served in the First and Second World Wars. I chose to execute this painting in the winter as the muted dark blue palette creates an atmosphere of solitude and reflection, while allowing the otherwise simply colored Chapel to remain as the focus point. |
I began working on this piece shortly after coming back from a school trip to Costa Rica. I was inspired by the beautiful and dense rainforests, which sparked a sense of wonder in me about the past civilizations that had lived there. This led me to decide on the theme of an old, decaying relic for this mask project. I utilized sponging techniques with acrylic paint and fine glitter to mimic a copper patina, and real moss to complete the look. |
While studying traditional Chinese painting in China during the March break, I took a few photographs of the local park to use as references. I especially loved this composition; it captured perfectly the essence of a slow spring morning. The willow tree, which has grown its leaves back while the other trees and shrubs remain bare, combined with the cool, cloudy setting, subtly conveys the transition into spring. |

Treehouse| Tristan Dunlap Sanabria has been drawing for a long time, since kindergarten he has discovered the importance of sketching ideas. Drawing and painting has taught him the power of perspective – to take a step back from the everyday scene and notice new patterns. In art, he explores topics of early robotics, rudimentary propulsion designs, AI research, and technology. For Sanabria, art is also a space to escape and to create with emotion and intent, revealing further information about himself through making.
|
 Untitled (2024)Tristan Dunlap Sanabria Acrylic on canvas 30 x 24 in Born from a moment of raw emotion, this acrylic on canvas began with paint thrown in rage—a physical release that evolved into a calming process of discovery. From this initial chaos, the image of the coastline emerged. The finished work creates a dialogue between the dynamic energy of the ocean and the stillness of the shore. Utilizing a top-down perspective, I emphasize the intricate, vein-like patterns of the sea foam as it rushes over the sand, transforming a moment of personal turbulence into the vibrant contrast of texture and color found where water meets land. |
This acrylic on canvas landscape captures the quiet solitude of a historic walkway on the St. Andrew's campus at twilight. The composition emphasizes the interaction of light and moisture, contrasting the fading warmth of sunset with cool reflections on rain-soaked brick. The piece studies atmosphere and stillness, reflecting the calm that settles over the grounds after a storm. Created in honor of the school's 125th anniversary, the painting preserves a fleeting moment of transition between day and night, memory and presence. |
Rendered in acrylic on canvas, this piece explores the raw, visceral edge of human emotion. By focusing on the tension in the hands and the ambiguity of the expression, I aim to blur the line between overwhelming euphoria and deep anguish. The textured skin tones and dramatic lighting serve to freeze a fleeting moment of intense psychological release. |
Leo the Lion is a hyper-realistic drawing created in colored pencil and graphite, completed over 67 hours. It is my most technically demanding piece. I started in Grade 8 as a birthday gift for my grandmother. The drawing traveled with me for nearly two years, living in my backpack as I worked across multiple states. I underestimated its complexity and quickly realized the entire image depended on mastering hair — texture, direction, density, and proportion. The fine detail required intense focus, strong lighting, and constant visual discipline. The process pushed my patience, precision, and technical growth. |
Despite its simple perspective structure, this was one of the most complex drawings I've completed due to the high level of precision required across many intersecting details. The piece was restarted multiple times to maintain accuracy. The initial layout was mathematically scaled from a reference image of a New York City street onto 11 × 17 paper. Rendered entirely in 2B pencil over approximately 20 hours, the drawing emphasizes controlled line work and spatial perception. The visual style was inspired by the dense patterns and structure found in adult city coloring books. |

I felt this way growing up as the pressures of choosing and working towards a career constricted my childhood in more ways than one. This piece showcases the birthday cake of a one-year-old being constricted by a tie, representing the pressures of the bureaucratic expectations of the future weighing down on children. The single candle on the top is also burning out, signifying time running out almost like a fuse on a bomb. |

Lauren Dalton processes moments and emotions through art, using elements of colour, texture, and movement. She is drawn to abstract art to express experiences without being literal. For Dalton, art is the freedom to explore moments in an honest and open-ended way, and to make sense of the surrounding world. |
 Wildfire painting (2025)Lauren Dalton Acrylic on canvas 48 x 36 in The figures represent ordinary people witnessing the effects of wildfires; their presence emphasizes the human connection to these events, suggesting both vulnerability and responsibility. The warm, hazy tones of the sky echo the glow of fire, while darker areas hint at smoke, loss, and uncertainty. The ongoing wildfire crisis is a growing issue; I emphasize the contrast of what appears calm – even beautiful, can become normalized, blending into everyday life while causing widespread destruction. |

This piece depicts the absurd loop of professionalism. Professionalism isn't a bad thing, but when you take a moment and look at how we're all acting, it's kind of funny. We all pretend to not notice we're pretending, and we stay in character for each other so much to the point where we eventually start doing it for ourselves. But like… we could just not.

The hand smashing the mirror in the center draws your attention as the focal point, demonstrating the role of different parties in altering the reflection of the present. |
Liminal Life is based on the idea of liminal spaces – places that feel uniquely nostalgic yet eerie at the same time. The dollhouse features the idea of looking back on growing up in a childhood home, of familiar memories of a library, birthday party, indoor waterpark, and grocery store. The rooms are colourful to represent the impression that different spaces imprint on us as children. |

This artwork focuses on the extinction of lions and the slow disappearance of a species once seen as powerful and untouchable. The lion's living front represents strength, pride, and life, while the skeletal back reveals the harsh reality of extinction approaching from behind. This contrast shows how lions continue to exist in the present, yet their future is fragile and uncertain. |

This piece addresses physical animal abuse as an act of power exercised against bodies that cannot resist or speak back. The work centers on the visible consequences of violence—marks left behind, postures shaped by fear, and the physical memory carried in the body long after the act itself has ended. Rather than depicting a single moment of harm, the piece reflects the aftermath: what remains when cruelty becomes routine. It is important to do what we can as humans to stop animal abuse wherever and whenever we can. |

 Trapped (2026)Ava Panzini Acrylic on canvas 30 x 24 in I chose to do my final assignment on the unjust treatment of Orcas that are raised in captivity. I want to raise awareness and showcase how this treatment is cruel to Orcas. |
This piece was inspired by Hans Zatzka, it is a spin on his artwork of what you may see through a keyhole. I thought this may be an interesting concept to make a creepy artwork; rather than the viewer looking through the keyhole, it is someone looking through the keyhole at the viewer. |
My hair is a large part of my identity and it always has been. Before I began dying my hair people would recognize me by my ginger hair, now it is the same with my red hair. I have grown to love this as it is something that makes me stand out and has helped make me be more confident in my individuality. |
This non-objective piece offers a unique perception regarding depth and perspective, allowing the viewer to lose themselves in peace and provoke thoughts of self-examination and contemplation. |

Jason Yip is a student at St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic High School. Growing up, he enjoyed singing, art, and cartoon shows. Some of his favourite series are Pokémon and How to Train Your Dragon, planting his love for animation and shaping the way he expresses himself. |
 Petal? (2025)Jason Yip Pencil crayon on paper 17 in diameter This drawing is abstract piece. The object in the drawing is a close up of a flower petal. To create this artwork I used various colour pencils. Although the artwork is primarily pink and yellow, I used many analogous colours to help create specific shades in the shadows and highlights. This artwork is supposed to capture a calm and relaxing feeling through its soft and bright colours. |
This is a self-portrait done in an abstract style. This artwork was created within the limitations of an injury I sustained. I have resorted to my non-dominant to create this artwork, using a sponge to paint. Through various size sponges and paint brushes to apply the paint, this artwork displays the anger, frustration, sadness, and betrayal I felt at the time. |
This is an artwork inspired by Taylor Swift Out of The Woods. Featuring a person wrapped around by tree roots, symbolizing anxiety. To create this artwork I used colour pencil on everything except the tree leaves, which was done with a sponge. To build contrast, I used complementary and analogous colours. This artwork emulates the feeling of trying to escape anxiety, but it is too strong and that stops you from moving, trapping yourself in the head. |
This artwork is a statement about societies view on the perfect body for women. I created this piece using pencil crayon. I used a barbie like doll to display my statement because barbies have been used as an example of "perfect body" many time. The eyes in the mirror symbolizes society admiring the dolls "perfect body." The extra skinnier waist piece represents the beauty standard that encourages unhealthy mindsets and never feeling like they are skinny enough. |

Outside of art, Smith is a gymnast, coach, and pianist; she also likes to spend her free time at her cottage.
|
 Submerged Dreams (2025)Kate Smith Acrylic on canvas 20 in diameterExploring non-objective art allowed me to create without the pressure of accuracy. Abstraction is intriguing because it invites the viewer's mind to wander through endless possibilities of meaning and origin. Although the surface appears messy up close, this roughness was necessary to achieve texture and depth. The title Submerged Dreams suggests depth and uncertainty, contrasting against the soft beige tones of fluid, subconscious quality. |
This artwork explores the debilitating nature of anxiety and the feeling of being trapped within one's own mind. The figure confined behind bars represents how mental illness can function as an internal prison, while the looming, dominating shadow symbolizes intrusive thoughts and fears. By materializing inner demons into physical forms, the piece visualizes how distress can corner an individual and lead to emotional shutdown. The cage emphasizes isolation and helplessness, a state where escape feels impossible, and the struggle is largely internal, unseen, and deeply consuming. |
This piece explores the state of reverie, being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts, and feelings of wanting to be anywhere other than where you are. The black and white elements represent reality, while the use of colour symbolizes imagination and fantasy. Keeping the eyes in colour emphasizes longing and awareness, suggesting a desire to cross into a more vivid world. Inspired by my love of fantasy from childhood, creative writing, and daydreaming, the work draws from the imaginative worlds found in my favourite books. |
This cartoon-style self-portrait focuses on expression and intention rather than realism. I chose exaggeration and bold colour to explore identity in a lighthearted and approachable way, showing how personality can be communicated through style instead of detail. The cartoon format allowed me to emphasize confidence, humor, and individuality while breaking away from traditional portrait conventions. It reflects how identity can be playful, expressive, and shaped by creative choice. |
This portrait explores the idea that there are two sides to every person, what is visible and what lies beneath the surface. It addresses the tendency to oversimplify lives and experiences based on assumptions or outward appearance. One side reflects darker, more complex experiences, yet represents only a partial truth. The other side emphasizes that hardship is not all consuming, and that alongside difficult moments exist joy, lightness, and laughter. By balancing these contrasts, the work suggests that appearances can be deceptive and that no individual can be fully understood at a glance, making this duality a universal human experience. |

 My Life on DVD (2025)Mikaela Solaryk Pencil crayon on paper 19 x 15 in My Life on DVD is a self-portrait that frames my identity as something recorded, replayed, and preserved. The DVD represents memory and time, a place where all my memories can be saved to remember and carried with me wherever I go. I put two versions of myself to summarize my past and present self. Objects around the frame act as things that show my interests. and how I would decorate this DVD if it did exist in real life. |

This artwork is a close-up picture of a glacier underwater, focusing on the textures and natural patterns found in ice. The layered colours and details define cracks, melting, and movement within a glacier. I encourage viewers to look closely at the details that are often overlooked in large ice formations. This contrast between light and dark areas reflects the depth and complexity of glacial ice, showing both its fragility and strength. |
This artwork explores women's empowerment by portraying women working in careers that are traditionally dominated by men. From 1936, early comic book superheroes were all men. I utilize a comic book style in this piece to show women as strong, capable figures in roles that was originally limited to men. I hope that viewers can rethink societal expectations and recognize equality in the workforce. |

Sienna Pennington makes art as a creative outlet and safe space, allowing her to express innermost thoughts, emotions, and stress in ways that are challenging to explain. Artmaking allows her to slow down and understand emotions instead of pushing it away. Symbolism, storytelling, and mood are prominent elements that Pennington explores in her art. She hopes her art can speak to viewers from a place of honesty, vulnerability, and self-discovery. In her free time, Pennington enjoys soccer and journaling. |
 Bioluminescence (2025)Sienna Pennington Acrylic on canvas 16 in diameterThis abstract work exist between nothing and something. It does not depict a place, object, or narrative, offering a space for perception to unfold. Repetition, fragmentation, and subtle shifts in color accumulate meaning without declaration. The dots function as quiet gestures that is individually insignificant but collectively suggestive. Hierarchy is removed from the circular format, inviting open contemplation. |
This work captures a fleeting moment of childhood wonder, where movement, nature, and emotion briefly align. The falling leaves art active participant symbols of change, impermanence, and quiet joy. The figure is grounded, open, caught between motion and stillness, suggesting a state of presence that often fades with time. Warm autumn tones evoke nostalgia and memory, while the child's softened expression reflects innocence untouched by self-consciousness. The leaf Catcher preserves a feeling: the freedom of being fully immersed in the present, before awareness becomes complicated. |
This work confronts the realities of animal testing in everyday products. By depicting a fragile, scared animal in the hands of a human, the piece highlights the vulnerability of living beings subjected to harm for convenience or profit. The careful rendering of both the animal and the hands emphasizes the tension between control and helplessness, evoking empathy and ethical reflection. The work calls attention to the hidden suffering caused by brands that rely on animal testing, advocating awareness, compassion, and the pursuit of humane alternatives. It is a visual plea for responsibility and change. |

This painting depicts a swan and butterfly joined together, forming a whimsical and magical creature. I wanted to create a magical, sparkly, and flowy setting. This piece was a recreation of a sketchbook assignment I made in grade 11 and brings a creation of my imagination to life. |
This artwork is a parody of Leonardo DaVinci's Mona Lisa featuring Marie Antoinette. Marie Lisa is an incredibly challenging piece made with pencil crayon; I wanted this piece to be elegant with exquisite detail. Despite running out of time, I am proud of this artwork. |
This artwork conveys my feelings that happiness does not last long. The cake hangs from strings, a matter of time before they fall and smash, referring to feelings of happy moments in my life. They're nice while they last, but I usually end up sad afterward, which is something I've experienced a lot. I really enjoyed playing with the colors and creating a colourful, cute style. |
I did this painting for my grade 10 art final, practicing the technique of pointillism. I focused mostly on colour, aiming to make the vase pop. It challenged me to be more precise. This is one of my favourite artworks that I've made. |
