Vertex
subject: LibArt 2025
description: Vertex was created using Silverpoint, a Renaissance-era technique in which artists like da Vinci or Dürer would use metal to draw. The surface has been treated with a "ground" that contains both an orange pigment and bone-ash, which serves to create a rough surface capable of catching particles of metal as the drawing implement is drawn across it.

Homesick
subject: LibArt 2025
description: This work was created while I was studying abroad in Florence, and was drawn with ink I made myself as I studied renaissance drawing and painting techniques. It depicts a section of my trinket shelf, something I have curated over time which hangs next to my bed. While I was drawing it, I was both extremely grateful for the chance to study in a place as incredible as Florence, while also feeling a powerful longing for home.

Procne et Philomela
subject: LibArt 2025
description: Ovid's tale of Procne and Philomela explores love and revenge as it portrays the lengths a woman would go for her sister. As a woman with two sisters, I could deeply relate to Procne’s protective nature over Philomela. I was amazed that I could resonate with a piece of literature so intensely, especially one written thousands of years ago. Knowing that an ancient text could transcend time and that a modern reader could relate to it made me realize the importance of literature in understanding human nature.

Chairs in Front of St. Peter's Basilica
subject: LibArt 2025
description: As I stood in front of one of the world's oldest and most impressive architectural feats of spiritual devotion, I strangely found myself equally fascinated by the rows of modern mass-produced chairs scattered in front of the Pope's empty pavilion.
