“60,500 : 3,610” is a series of five 3D-printed sculptures of mountains, all of which I hiked in 2024. I hand-traced topographical elevation lines in Adobe Illustrator, then created a 3D model of the mountain in Blender. I then used a Prusa MKII to 3D print my sculptures. Additionally, I was able to create colorful designs using my original linework in Illustrator.

Garden of Skulls

In the making of “Garden of Skulls,” with original music in the background

“Garden of Skulls” is a full-coverage cross-stitch piece. The original design is a digital illustration created by Montréal-based artist Yannick Bouchard. The design was then stitched on 28-count linen cross-stitch fabric. The motifs of flowers and skulls seen in this piece are representative of the beauty within death. No matter how separated one may feel from death, we as humans all come from the earth, and to the earth we shall return. “Garden of Skulls” serves as a reminder that though death is as terrifying as it is inevitable, beauty can and will grow from it.

The dimensions of this piece are 163×210 stitches. In total, 34,230 stitches were required to create the image you see. It took a year and five months of consistent work— it was started in January 2024 and finished on April 25th, 2025. While a full-coverage piece like this may seem overwhelmingly large, cross-stitching is a way to take time to relax, especially when it feels like there’s no time for it. Countless movies and television shows were binge-watched, and countless evenings were spent on the living room couch with the family while creating this piece.

3D Motion Graphics

My first project on Cinema 4D for a class called Introduction to Motion Graphics. I used my initials as the object and played with staging, lighting, and physics to create a short 3D animation.

My final project for Introduction to Motion Graphics in the spring of 2025. Using staging, color, lighting and camera rigging, I was able to create this visually engaging animation of a Fender Stratocaster guitar.

2D Animation

This is an animation I made of a walk cycle. This was my first time working with ToonBoom Harmony and learning the fundamentals of 2D animation. The scene shown is a student walking down Leeson Street in Dublin, Ireland and throwing trash away.

Champlain Slightly Happier

These are flyers I created for an Instagram positivity page I ran throughout my sophomore year called Champlain Slightly Happier. It was a positive force in the Champlain College community that started as a project for a class called “Art & Social Engagement”. Every day I posted a 3-question story: “Did you drink water today?” “Have you eaten today?” “How are you feeling today?” complete with a question box that asked “tell me more?”. I responded to each “tell me more” reply throughout the day. I also created events for Slightly Happier, including a midterm event in which I ordered pizza and hot chocolate and put out some coloring pages for people to de-stress. Champlain Slightly Happier was very successful and well-known in the Champlain community.

Webbing Series

These are abstract works of art made on Adobe Illustrator. They are circles and lines intersecting each other, then merged together with thicker lines, resembling a web of sorts. All of these have the same patterns, but I changed the color palette of each. I made this a desktop wallpaper that changes every few seconds, so it morphs from color to color but keeps the same pattern.
