Artist profile



Everyday is exactly the same
Sitting here and pondering life's inevitable meanings
What is there to do
What will I become
I am so young, but so old in my soul
I speak my mind
yet I am stuck in the same exact spot
Always wondering
and waiting
an after thought.





What have I done
I say this with anger
My life has no more meaning
no souls to please
no one falling at my feet
what will the days do
when I fall in love with you
what if there is no you
only blue
always you

Lobby Writing

The picture I chose in the lobby reminded me of paintings I do, sort of impressionistic. I love the mess and chaos that goes into that kind of work, it's not perfect and I feel like impressionistic styles are the most unique of all. The picture also reminded me of flowers, something I also love. It's like they were just painting to get everything out of their soul and then they grabbed some white and started constructing their mind. I don't know why, but I just really connected with the artwork and I felt a deeper meaning with it.

Artist Profile: Mary Cassatt




Impressionist, Mary Cassatt was one off the most well known artists of her time. She was born May 22, 1844 and died June 14, 1926, she grew up in the city of Allegheny in Pennsylvania. Her parents were Robert Simpson Cassatt, a successfull stockbroker and land speculator. Her mother was named Katherine Kelso Johnston, Mary was also one of seven children.

Mary studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine arts, ignoring her fathers protests she began to learn more about art. In her time woman werent allowed to attend certain colleges and so she studied for artists instead. She was a part of a group called the impressionists, where impressionistic artists came together becasue their type of work was looked down upon. Also the Civil war was going on around that time.

Mary basically worked with paints and prints, making her work known by showing it in galleries and seling some. Although not a lot of people appreciated her type of work. Her most famous pieces of work would have to be The Child's Bath, Little Girl in Blue Armchair, and The Cup of Tea.

Keeping it real.

 1. I think it's good to write about what you know because you know the most about that topic. Writing what you know can be interesting for others to read because you can make them feel passionate about what you are passionate about.

2. Three tips that I would give my parents would be to try hard in school, and go to college or find something you are truly passionate about so you can make a good living for your children and be happy with your life. I would also tell them that they can go wherever they want to go and do whatever their heart desires. I would tell them to dream big and guide them through life’s struggles.

3. If I were to write for a newspaper, I would probably write creepy/ spooky short stories. Or I would write a fashion column, because I know a lot about that and I am a person that is very interested in that.

8. What makes a guy a hottie is if they have a beard, but that can sometimes be optional. They also have to dress nice and not be a total lazy bum. It’s also really attractive to me if a guy can cook and if they have a good sense of humor and great taste in music. Oh and if you can't drive it's not going to work because I hate driving.

16. My perfect day would have to be waking up in a place I love, or dreamed of. Which in my case would be New York, LA, or Kansas City. I love KC because it is such a cute artsy place, I love going there and shopping. The art museums are fun to go to as well, and everyone is always dressed nice. I have only dreamed of LA and NY but I would love to go there. Anyways I would love to wake up get coffee and go shopping. Take lots of pictures and be with my friends or with someone close to me.

Favorite Movie Quotes

Pulp fiction:

 Fabienne: No. Pot bellies make a man look either oafish, or like a gorilla. But on a woman, a pot belly is very sexy. The rest of you is normal. Normal face, normal legs, normal hips, normal ass, but with a big, perfectly round pot belly. If I had one, I'd wear a tee-shirt two sizes too small to accentuate it.

Butch: You think guys would find that attractive?

Fabienne: I don't give a damn what men find attractive. It's unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye is seldom the same.

The Virgin Suicides:

Narrator: We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

and I can't think of anymore right now

Reel life

1. One of my favorite movies is Drive, because I love the romance, the aggression and Ryan Gosling. I think it's a beautiful story and I love the action that comes with it. The way it's filmed is like you are looking into a dream, especially when Irene and him are in the elevator kissing and after he kills the man that is in there with them. 

2. I don't care for scifi, or anything that isn't real because it isn't reality and I want to know reality.I don't want to get washed up away in a fairytale, I like to know reality and I think movies that have that are the best.

3. I usually watch a lot of movies in my room, on my laptop, but lately I have been really into watching Friends so I haven't been watching a lot of movies.

4. To watch a movie I need quiet and a snack or drink. 

5. The quiz told me that I am 67 %agreeable, 92% open to new experiences, 42% emotionally stable, 83% conscientious, and 50% extroverted. I don't really agree with the extroverted thing because I really am the quiet type but I loved the movies it picked for me. Some of them are When Harry Met Sally, Angela's Ashes, and Meet the Parents.

6. If my life story was made into a movie, AnnaSophia Robb would play me. The movie would be about a girl with dreams who is constantly knocked down by life's inevitable doom. The ending would be happy though because I like movies with happy endings.
