Drawing
Jasmine Brooks
The Seeds
This piece is a stipple drawing done with a micron pen to show the depth and texture just a little part of a pomegranate can hold.

Sound of Drums
Sound of Drums is a comic book style piece meant to depict the intensity of sound. The jagged edges are both striking and rhythmic, much like the sound of a drum.
Brianna Deming
Trust the Process
Trust the Process was a turning point in my artistic journey. I was experiencing neck and wrist pain from a newfound sketchbook obsession, and I felt I couldn't stop. My work reflects a shared journey of resilience, proving that even amid pain, optimism can lead us to vibrant, new opportunities.
Theodore Jeddeloh
Munch-kin
This piece represents the tension I feel within spaces that are not my own. I have always felt so small and delicate within my relationships, whether new, old, trusted, kin or even unknown. The figure fits almost perfectly in the space, but they cannot stand straight, which feels trapped.

Working on Myself
The process of working on your mental health varies in length for everyone. For me, there are moments where I feel incomplete, where I feel broken, and only medication can help me. Other times, the world seems cold and unforgiving, but I have a support system that can and will help me through it.
Hawkins Moore
Self-Portrait Looking Downwards
This is a very textured piece. The face is meant to capture a somber feel, with choppy yet precise details. The background and surrounding features push that feeling even more with a hazy, dreamlike look which provides a dissonance in the drawing.
Valencia Ruprecht
My Funeral Balloons
Water based marker on paper. This is a recreation of my memory of my father's funeral. I am surrounded by strangers who have become unreal while those who have passed have manifested as larger than life. The piece should bring to mind grief, isolation, and someone's reality flipping upside down
Katie Schultz
Ramen Noodle Soup
Piece made entirely from Micron Fineliner Pen. A pointillism artwork displaying my lunch of Ramen Noodle Soup.
Megan Smith
Pieces of Myself
This piece serves as a indirect self-portait. I chose to depict the objects in my childhood room that make up who I was in the past and who I am now.

Birthdays
Black and white stippling design to represent the sentimentality associated with birthdays.
