Title of Piece: “Realistic Collage”
Medium: Graphite, watercolor, and ink on paper

Bio: I am a brave mother who loves to smile and is full of kindness and tenderness. I love marvelous oceans. When it is quiet and sweet, it is like a girl; when the waves are rough, it is like a fighter. Sometimes life is like this ocean, not only full of sweetness but also hardships along the way. I believe that as long as there are persistence, dreams, and love, everything can be overcome! I want to be a designer. I hope my design can give you a sweet hug, also give warmth to every corner of the world.

Title of Piece: “Rosy Masquerade”
Medium: Magazine collage on paper
Dimensions: 6” x 7.5”
Artist Statement: This surreal collage was made by dissecting a multitude of magazines. I found the inspiration for it after discovering the main subject - the mask - in a program. The goal of this artwork is to showcase illogical proportion, and even if I did not achieve that I am still happy with it. And for those of you that are wondering, yes, the bird is from “The Hunger Games” books!
Bio: I am a current senior at River HomeLink in Battle Ground. Although I plan on following a career concerning the environment, I want to continue taking art classes at Clark after I graduate to improve my skills. To me, creativity is being able to think outside of the box and create an original artwork that I am proud of. I often find that I have no troubles in finding inspiration for a piece, but when it comes to transferring my visions onto the canvas I run into difficulties.
