"Nicole" mixed media on masonite.  This is my first piece for senior thesis titled "Fragments".  I will be doing a series of 12 portraits.  Each piece is 8"x 8" consisting of only fragments of each person's personality that I perceive about them.  The idea is to show these fragments as the little things we know about a person and the white or negative space is the unknown.  

"Nicole" was created with oil on wood

"Disconnected".  Each row is three separate canvases created with mixed media.  They were then scanned into Photoshop and designed in different arrangements.
