I think being an artist is one of the best ways to learn how to deal with mistakes. There are so many times where I spend hours on a piece and come back to realize I can do better. Printmaking was a difficult process for me to understand, but I am proud of how my angel came out regardless. This was a two layered reductive method from an 8x10 woodblock. 

In this piece “Angels Tears” I interpret the trending biblically accurate angels known for their many eyes and wings. They seem to be foreign and feared in their descriptions. I wanted to give a sense of beauty through a feminine figure. I chose the colors yellow and green to symbolize greed. The angel weeping can symbolize many things. The golden tears can be directed at the corruption going on in our materialistic society that uses unethical means to fulfill our needs for the trendiest things. In this aspect, the feminine figure is empathizing with the suffering money can cause. Personally, I wanted the angel to seem ethereal and pitying mortals who have to slave away for money. I hope to explore and interpret other mythical and feminine figures that relate to girlhood and womanhood. The new era of technology makes one crave for the unknown and the wholeness of nature. Currently, I would like to keep exploring the idealization of Ballet and bring forth the dedication of its craft. Most of my artworks will be depictions of my latest obsessions.
