Just wanted to show that I love my graphic design as well as landscaping, so if you love this then be glad to know that there will be more posts on the way.

My life is staged

moments sometimes stolen

battered then returned fully enraged

lost in self doubt

sitcoms try to tune it out

vicariously living through my art

mind always stranded

rowing the a bis through oil paint on this canvas

crevasses created

extent unrated

truth seeps thru

but that's just life

issues always faced

nothing's ever new

cleansed and made pure

arts my cure

a blessing with no disguise

Gods gift to me

of that I'm sure

Pathetic Crush

I hope this finds you well, well enough to see the day through

The world misses your sweet charming smile

Lord knows I've adored you all the while

Life passes us by but ive longed to sigh

For that joyous moment of relief and complete faith

In the truth that you heart feels the same as mine

The way it fluttered on that warm summers day

When i hugged you and you carried me away

Into a life promised with bountiful blessings

We both dreamed would come with out dismay

But dreams are dreams and you remain still

Away in the shade of great suppression

Mind knows not to pay close attention

But to support you with out tension

So I remain transfixed by your presence and pray

The life your mind, body and soul held close

To that warm loving smile that you give once in a while.

I once wanted nothing but to gaze upon your loving smile

To understand what it would be like to be near you

Hold your gaze with unquestionable fear

Taking long strides and hiding my glare

Anxious to greet you love you and be with you

Nothing but friendship is all that I will get from you

You make that clear with a passion so dear

no choice but to love you secretly much I fear

2010-09-16T04:52:00.000-07:00

Wedding vows for the one you adore

For want of a love so pure and true

I see none other than the likes of you

Sacred words of love one says in vain

In all honesty I say this with absolutely no pain

I met your gaze and felt you were made for me

Meeting you has set me free

My heart melts when your presence is near

On this special day my love please don't shed one tear

Everyday since our love has grown strong

It resides in my soul and that can't be wrong

So with all the ups and downs, future smiles and frowns

lives we have lived, days to come, we vow to share

For better, for worse, till death do our souls part

Today we celebrate this union so rare

With all that we have been thru

I now promise to love you for ever

And say I do

Truth Be Told By Me

Thoughts untouched

Problems over turned

The world now sees the cracks

Pressure builds

Emotions fulfilled

Tears flow freely

I sit here now

Contemplating the future

Happiness

No where to be found

Crushed dreams

Broken Promises

Exist in places meant to be occupied

By passion and faith

Reality lost

Truth crumbles

Pieces scattered every way possible

Thrown in to oblivion

Shattered to dust

No body sees me

I am more of a problem than anything

Not a priority

Just something else not worthy to support

A figure, more or less unappreciated

But I see myself

A cry for help and comfort

Doubtful that anything good will ever come

Of me

I have a name

But nobody hears it

I had a dream

Everyone seems to crush it

Aspiration to become someone great

But how can this come to be

When nobody sees me

Just as a pathetic excuse for a daughter

Just as a remarkably weak younger sister

Just another member of a family where

Still

Nobody sees me

It's incredibly funny how I got given the talent

to make art

I even happen to want to live a life where art is my passion

But this is a life that my father perceives to hold no promising future

Why is it so easy to hate and not to love?

Why must this be the fate that i must follow

Can I not please the ones I am suppose to love

And do what i do best?

Ideas Unvoiced, Voiced

Lonely hours

Spent wading through mess

Sigh at the mere thought

Of your sweet cares

Truly emerged in passion and faith

Ties and bounds to you

Feel nothing but safe

The time

Time spent pursuing you

Only ever met boundaries smothered in depression

I'm thru

Your cool whisper on my finger tips

Leave me drowning in suppression

You suffocate me

Unwillingly

Embracing your charm

Only your past affect leaves me speechless

Weak

One moment of clarity

All that I seek

But a passion

So beautiful

Wonderful but wrong

Leaves the lengths of my love for you

Undoubtably strong

Pencil on paper, sections of the work have been extracted and the drawing has been assembled in to a partial cube. Love the shadows created by the cut out shapes, brings a whole new perspective to drawing and landscape design for me.

couldn't help making them they were just so cute! lol. things wrapped in strips of fabric.

Six columns of coloured duracell fixed along the wall from the floor to the wall. My recent love for colour has now been placed in this art works displayed for our foyer projects!.. was an extremely enjoyable piece that caught the eye of all those that used the foyer during the time this work had been exhibited.

an ink pen drawing made on A4 paper. Intricate lines pivoting around the central point dispersing into the surrounding space around the drawing.

two ten exhibition work that was recently displayed this past week at Shed10, on the 2nd of Sept. It is Acrylic and cotton on canvas, it plays with the concept of space and time, the element of surprise through the realization of the media used to create this work. The simplicity on this work, and the crisp lines are what I think make this work successful.

Not a very good image but at all, but it's all I have at the moment. A piece that's playing with colour composition and leading lines, drops the obstruct the background. A work in progress really, not quite there yet.

2010-04-15T17:09:00.000-07:00

A work made in 2009 with flax and pins, a work that plays with the ideas of application, placement, leading lines and arrangement. A playful work that is simple intricate.

2010-03-15T16:56:00.000-07:00

This piece plays with the mixing of origami and naturalistic shapes on a flat traditional substrate, the canvas. Quite a small work, but successful from my perspective.

2010-03-15T16:48:00.000-07:00

Most recent work. Conceptual work dealing with the use of materials that I wouldn't usually be using in my art works but there you are. A simplistic piece that plays with positive and negative space and the interweaving of two completely different materials on a flat substrate.

Patterns are everywhere and to me they are all beautiful and unique like this photograph that I captured here.

2010-03-15T16:21:00.000-07:00

These photographs show delicate petals which have fallen to the ground with the shadow of the tree from which they have fallen, what drew me to this photograph was the beautiful colours captured in the sun light against the silhouette of the trunk of the tree.

2010-03-15T15:20:00.000-07:00

This piece was made in 2009, made as part of a drawing brief for my BVA course at AUT. I chose to base my art on the idea of identity and this is one of my conceptual pieces. It focuses on the idea of identity and identifying myself as an artist. Pretty basic but it's only a starting point.
