This process pushed me and made me grow as an artist. The time constraint to create all 15 pieces of art made this process even more vigorous. Every single source photo was one I either took or pieced together. I forced myself out of my comfort zone by utilizing mediums I was less familiar with such as acrylic paint, ink, and oil pastels. In addition, I used colored pencils, a medium I had more experience working with. Throughout the entire process, I sought to create art that embodied what pain feels like while maintaining a high level of design and craftsmanship.
