FINISHED!!!

Ah, yes, as of two weeks ago, I am finished with my capstone. The four masterpieces are up and proudly displayed in Hermann. I was terribly nervous leading up to the opening, but I felt so much better afterwards. I will admit I had no idea what I would think about, seeing as my mind always returned to my capstone. Turns out, I can't think of anything and have a terrible case of senioritis. It's making everything impossible. Even though I have finished my capstone, I still have a fifteen page paper to write and that is quite a challenge.

My long wall with Poe, Austen, and Shakespeare

Byron and my Artist Statement is here (no, the fire extinguisher is not a part of the display)

On the bright side, my capstone is worth $1000! I have decided to sell them for $250 each for the originals, and $15 for a 8x10 print. I will have to wrangle with the pieces to make the prints (and get worthy pictures of them), but I already have a lot of people interested. Although it will pain me to see my pieces go after working on them for a whole year, I'm happy there are people out there who want them. I had plans to place them in a study one day, but I feel that I could always make more (ugh, so much work...) or create new fantabulous art instead! If I sell them, it officially makes me a professional artist and after eighteen years of studying art (yup, started when I was 4), it's absolutely worth it. I also like the fact that this is only a new chapter in my life, and this is the best way for it to begin!
