What more could a girl want for Christmas than graduating from college? School was amazing, my teachers were amazing, and now its time to make it on my own. I wanted to thank some of my amazing teachers for their help, advice, and confidence in my work that has brought me to where I am today. First of all Everard Williams who is the assistant chair over at Art Center for his time and help with everything. Steve LaVoie for his endless amount of advice and pure inspiration. David Kelley for not forcing me to shoot people and letting me find my way. Ann Cutting for her amazing connections and class. And last but not least Matt Armendariz for being my one and only AMAZING independent study teacher. I would absolutely not be where I am if it not for Matt giving me endless advice, help and inspiration. Thanks to Adam for some great advice with food styling!!!
Grad show at Art Center was pretty cool, It was A LOT of work making walls, painting them, and building them. I am just glad they didn’t force me to use power tools. I mainly stuck with the rollers and spackling. Anyway, below are some pictures of ACCD Fall 08 grad show.

I hope everyone has a safe and amazing holiday!!
In case you were wondering, the image above has these weird broccoli, cauliflower mix, dragon fruit, figs, and persimmons.
Hi guys, so I have some fun things to tell you all about. Postings as of late have been sparse, I graduate in 8 days, so its really getting down to it. Man oh man. Right after I finish this post I am off to construct walls for our grad show. Which brings me to this link: http://www.photogradshow08.com/ You can see the work of my graduating class at Art Center. AND, if you are in the Los Angeles area, you should totally come to Art Center on Saturday the 12th from 7 to 10 to see everyones work. Its not just photo majors either, its graphic design, fine arts, transportation design, and illustration (which is always my fav) its totally amazing, and worth the trip. On the link above, you can click on view our Grad Show Invitation at the bottom and get all the details.
So, also, all you prospective Art Center students, feel free to contact me with questions if you have come across this site in your searches, I’m glad to help. I’ve already talked to a bunch of you, so I have a pretty good idea of whats going on.
Last Wednesday, at Art Center, we had this thing called speed dating. Only you are not looking for a date, you are looking for job. It was quite hilarious and exhausting all at the same time. The industry professionals were hilarious! I mean just really funny funny people. It was really great to be around people that are so happy, postitive, and just funny. Most everyone was really nice and helpful (one person always just doesnt get it, but thats ok). It was really refreshing to have people acting to pleasant, I was expecting the worse, so needless to say, it was totally the opposite. I am going to make fun little polaroid mini books as thank you cards, so I will share those as soon as they are done. They are really cute.
Now on to the pictures, I did a shoot last weekend with a set designer/ prop stylist names Leesa Martling. She was great, and I think we came up with some really unique, weird, and fun images. I really wanted to use the seamless as a graphical element so it kinda worked, I still wanna play with it.
