This is my most recent drawing. It's me as a little girl, and probably my favorite :)
(My mom suggested I list the awards I've received on here. Honestly, I don't completely remember which artworks got which awards & stuff... they all kinda ran together & I forgot!!! But I tried to guess as best I could!)

This is the first drawing I ever sold (in 6th grade for $20!)
These are the portraits I did for the Buccella family in NY. (I need to get better photos of them on here though!) A lot of the detail doesn't show up on here; but these are some of my most challenging/best drawings so far.
This won second place in the "1999 Congressional Art Competition for High School Students" & also First Place in the 1998 Shawnee Community College Regional High School Art Show, & 1998 Illinois State Beta Convention! (Any of the other awards listed are also from the Shawnee Art Show from the years of 1995-99). ALSO, this was awarded second place in the Cedarhurst Art Competition.
