Art pieces

Most of my art is made for fun and shared through word of mouth, but I'm looking to collaborate and take things to the next level. Check out more of my work on Instagram @clkpaints!

Abstract art

 

These two vibrant paintings are my first attempt at abstract and my largest piece to date.

 

I found them as dirty canvases in my apartment trash room and used unconventional tools like tinfoil and paper towel rolls to add artistic elements.

 

They now embody exploration of color, shape, and movement. With layers built through dry brushing, dripping, stamping, and freeform mark-making, each canvas invites the viewer into a whimsical world.

 

Digital print

 

This print is my first digital collage, created using Canva, Pinterest, and photos pulled straight from my own camera roll.

 

As a student with a lack of money to spend on Christmas gifts, I made this for my sister using what I had, guided by the aesthetic I felt.

 

A blend of vintage color, coastal textures, and personal memories, made to depict our years of shared summers, effortless joy, and the magic of creating by using what’s around you.

 

The composition mixes seaside nostalgia with pops of citrus and candid snapshots to create something that’s expansive yet personal.

 

No Canva Pro or fancy tools needed, just intentions and creativity!

watercolors

 

These two watercolor pieces were the first works I made with the intention of giving them as gifts.

 

They marked a shift in my confidence as an artist when creating felt not just personal but sharable.

 

The robin was for my mom, who has always loved birds. The lobster was inspired by summers in Maine, where I have returned every year since I was born.

 

It’s a nod to the vibrance of summer and significance of tradition; the piece implies that place can anchor memory.

 

Together, they represent the moment I realized my work could hold meaning for someone else, not just for me.

Promoting

 

These watercolor pieces were part of a sorority market where I nearly sold out! This moment gave me the confidence to keep exploring art more seriously.

 

Watercolor was the first medium I felt comfortable with, and it’s where I still feel most sure of myself.

 

Some of these works include layered paper collage, while others are more stripped down and personal.

 

Growing up in Connecticut, I love to pull from New England references using coastal details, everyday objects, and familiar summer visuals like fruits and lighthouses.

 

This collection mixes ease with intention. It’s lighthearted but thoughtful and a reminder that simple materials can still tell a story.
