All Odds is about perseverance, a soldier fighting against all odds with an unstoppable and unknown foe acting to stop him. However, this soldier is not giving up without a fight. The solder is seen dodging an explosion and being encircled by smoke and flames; this is an attack from his powerful opponent. The unrevealed enemy can represent anything that you need to persevere against. This is an inspirational piece and is meant to speak out and truly tell you to try your best at everything and to never give up.

Tear is my third take on modern abstract art. It’s meant to spread the gap between what's reality and fantasy; with reality being represented by the more angular piece of the rip and fantasy by the streaky less angular. My Tear can also be depicted as an energetic inspiration to help you get through the day. This peace can be viewed from any point of view, including direction at which you see the work. During the creation of Tear I used a cardboard canvas and painted with acrylic paints including the colors blue, yellow, red, and white.

Passage |
My artwork is meant to say how things come and go and how you should appreciate what you've got. To show this I drew an old dark oak tree that was splitting in some places. Part of the story telling part of this peace is how next to it there’s a stump and axe implying that it was chopped down and repurposed. Next to that there’s a table in a room with a wooden interior showing how it was so. Before the creation of this artwork I had been to 4 U.S. States other than Iowa, In one of these states I was inspired by a tree that I saw in a photo that I took and that was the tree that I used as an example for my peace.
