The primary objective of this creative project was to make my artwork more appealing to a mature audience. I would use familiar imagery that I had created from characters that were initially developed for children. These characters are now not only entertaining, but also have been enhanced through the use of engaging symbolic narrative.The secondary objective was to combine my knowledge of drawing, painting and sculpture based on changes in my recent artwork. These changes were brought about through investigating contemporary artist while studying at Ball State University. The body of work includes an underlying theme: "A Journey Though life," which features Quest the foolish dog, derived from the fool card in a tarot card deck. / Department of Art

The primary objective of this creative project was to produce a professional grade body of work, which clearly expresses the author's perspective and concerns. The works were executed in the traditional mediums of woodcut, etching, drypoint, and drawing. The second objective was to further explore these mediums and their potential in contemporary art. / Department of Art
