Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

I began drawing when I was three years old.

Early (Teen) "Chess Drawings:"

I became 2nd place Texas Women's Chess Champion (in a tournament held by the San Antonio Chess Studio) and was ranked around 23rd for women in my age group in my teens. While at chess tournaments, I would draw waiting for the next round to begin. This led me to produce a series of drawings that found themselves in chess books and a short-lived television series about chess. Encouraged by the success of my chess drawings, I began to explore other mediums. While in business school, I started experimenting with painting. It was during this time that I began painting large scale butterfly paintings.

Butterfly Motif (College) Paintings:

I decided to paint butterflies because they represent change. I would look to my own paintings for hope and inspiration to climb whatever obstacles in my path. In my thoughts I carried the notion that my life would change while I painted and that I could inspire hope in others through the message in my paintings. I believe people feel uplifted when viewing my work.
