An Unexpected Discovery is a hand drawn, frame by frame animation that hopes to inspire feelings of curiosity and mystery, while colliding head on with a choice where you know neither outcome.

This project is an animated music video for Sapphire Moonlight by Camo Columbo. I wanted to further evoke the relaxed yet contemplative feeling of the song by exploring depictions of space and the playful mysteries of everyday life. To view the full music video, scan this QR code using your phone!

Acrylic paint on glass 13.5 x 10.5”

My paintings are inspired by the purity and nature of the world, and offer the opportunity to love what it has to provide and love it with confidence. I use the figure - both beautiful and fierce - to suggest the lovability of human beings, even with our messy beginnings. I use glass rather than canvas as it is a metaphor for two sides of human development: how we are created and how we change. The watered down acrylic paint, guided loosely across the surface of the glass, forms the figure depicting; an unconscious freedom it deserves to own. An unconscious freedom we deserve to own.

The word “Zeal” means “great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective”. I created this brand specifically for yo adults, to unite and to take everything we have known about the world, with all of our new circumstances during the pandemic, to create a positive or new mind set. I wanted to create contrast by using a collage of vintage imagery, modern colors and fonts encouraging messages. This is for those who are not afraid to swim upstream. To those who have the courage to trailblaze a new path. To those who believe that they’ll find what they’ve been searching for.

These 3 panels of an 11-panel series make up the first chapter of my story, The Girl Under the Moon. This is a story of loss, the loss of innocence and self. Ami, our main character, is raised up into this life of servitude of subjugation.

Her sense of self is stripped away, and her identity becomes a distant memory. These vile creatures that plague her existence own her both in body and in mind. Ami represents the dim light that shrines through in the darkest of nights. Her journey will be one of pain, suffering, agony and burden, but through finding her own light she reclaims that which was taken.

Greta Jursch Graphic Designer

My work focuses on conceptualizing user interfaces in order to fulfill a current user need. In my first project, I conceptualized a dashboard for an electric car as well as an electric charging station. My goal was to eliminate the confusion of complicated graphs and features, leaving the user with only the essential charging information in a digestible manner. My second project is a web and mobile app prototype called Happy Camper. Happy Camper streamlines the campsite locating process by combining all government and private campsite reservation services into one easily navigable app. This app also challenges the idea of the masculine branding typically associated with outdoors media, all while hoping to increase accessibility to the outdoors.

All interfaces were created using Adobe Illustrator and Figma.

This is a three-paneled painting created to represent how climate change can affect the natural landscape. The three paintings present a view from the University of Redlands, with the San Bernardino mountains in the background. The first panel depicts a lush environment. The cool, expressive colors represent a vibrant, untouched landscape. The middle painting shows a gradual shift in color, illustrating the shift in global climate. The cool colors turn to warm as the view moves past the Redlands Chapel and the quad. The final panel expresses the feeling of a world on fire. Smoke surrounds the darkened trees, representing the negative impact that humans have on nature.

Each print is printed as a large, scaled illustration, 36x48 inches

For this Senior Project I wanted to create a six-part illustration series of the most memorable year of my life, 2020. I think 2020 has b reading this, whether it be good, or bad. I chose to do illustration because it is something my past and my future have in common. art technique and design approaches. I love to draw and being able to include that in design was a really cool moment in my life. I and maybe all of you, have experienced this year. A lot of my illustrations have been based around young women, but I want to pu surroundings along with the humans being represented. I want to be able to bring those great and not so great things to life throug scenes, I found a lot of really influential illustrators and their styles I want to regenerate in my project.

Sharing a meal can be an important part in connecting with those around you and learning about their experiences. I created a dinner set to celebrate coming together and talking about our differences like my family does at our dinner table. My goal was to create something that would invite conversation and encourage unity through something as simple as sharing a meal. It’s important to me that these dishes were not only functional, but felt good in people’s hands, while being enjoyable to use. Each dish was made the same way, but no two pieces are exactly the same, which is the beauty of pottery. The pieces here are glazed two different colors, black and white, because I wanted the dinner set to look as unique as possible while still being cohesive. A handmade dinner set like this one exhibits the uniqueness and humanity that is complementary to the individuals who use it.

My body of work focuses on the connections I make with those around me.

I explore the juxtaposition of how Covid-19 has dramatically changed each of our lives, while at the same time the ritual of it remains. I Photograph my family and those intimate moments only lived within our walls. I tell not only my experiences, but those of individuals around me who are in my community. Each have a unique story and history of their own, from the shopkeeper at the corner store to my grandmother who I have not hugged in a year now. This work shows not only my personal relationships with those I know and love, but how it is still possible to make meaningful connections to strangers and my environment even during this time.

When I heard the buzzing of the razor, I grabbed my camera and ran downstairs knowing I had to shoot this beautiful moment between father and son. My brother and my dad. My dad works 12 hours a day 5 days a week, yet he still, takes the time out of his schedule to make sure his son stays groomed. With the pandemic and shops being closed my dad took on this added responsibility.

While shooting film I had no idea what the product of my images would be until I processed them. I, myself, was surprised by the outcome. I was drawn in by my brother’s gaze, and by my dad who is wearing the shirts my mom had created to show the importance of the lives of her black sons.

Matthew Crow Graphic Designer

My work is done with a process of evolving the idea, growing a piece that correlates my creative thought but also my very organized structure. A structure that builds overtime from wall to wall and creates brands & identities. In my varied and diverse approaches to making art; public, curatorial and web projects, the context of the work has an impact on the work’s relationship to the viewer. My work grew as I kept taking the next step and found myself very inclusive on brand developments and marketing strategies and how graphic design is a key component to its arrival to the world’s eye.

This year, I took plan of pushing my boundaries while creating branding identity systems for newly created companies. First, Layout Flooring Company is a self-made company that I designed to push the idea of formalism.

The logo and the spreads are created with the idea of how flooring is actually put down. For my other project, I created a social media personality with branding for its YouTube, Twitter, and how people will view the streamer while live on Twitch. The branding is themed around a video game called Destiny.

Matt Fisher Graphic Designer

Graphic Design is a recent pursuit of mine, and it opened my eyes to what I genuinely enjoy doing. Branding and Marketing is what can best describe my design niche but also well rounded in other areas of Graphic Design such as Package Design and small Illustration work. My ambition is to leave a lasting impact on my client and to help them find their company voice. It also important that my artwork and designs are effective in meeting their vision. I want to work to leave a mark and communicate the idea in a compelling way.

Morgan Fowlkes Painter

Nearing the end of 2020, I set out on a mission to create art that is painfully honest. I strove to leave a piece of me behind in every painting I made. In this series of work, I wanted to create a window into the everyday life of a 20-year-old art student working a taxing retail job, living at home with her parents, and struggling to keep herself sane, all while living through a pandemic. In an era where time does not seem real and moments fly past, I set out to eternize this period of my life through my work. These paintings have served as my diary for these last few months and I am very honored to be able to share this part of my life with you.

“NOT ALL MEN”: Acrylic paint, paint, pen, paper, ballpoint pen, pencil, soft pastel. masking tape, and sharpie marker

This piece was the result of a very emotional and stressful week. I found myself carrying this anger and frustration in my daily life and decided to release that into a painting. During this week, I remember being harassed by two different men while at work, one shook me so deeply that I became afraid to walk out to my car after my closing shift. It just so happened that the events happened just a couple days apart and stuck with me throughout the week. It kind of became the theme of this whole painting. Thankfully, no one touched me physically, but I had felt this tangibly gross feeling after being objectified and sexualized by these strange men. When thinking about this feeling, I kept thinking about hands and fingers and this distinct feeling of phantom touch. I want to use my art not only to share my experiences and feelings, but also advocate for myself and for people like myself. This is not an odd occurrence, especially for those working in the service industry.

I want to use this piece and the experiences that sparked it to highlight the culture we have built.

Ryleigh Gissel Photographer

My photography is vast; I love to work with aesthetics and dominance. These aesthetics range from a variety of things which include color, atmosphere, texture, and feelings. Recently I have been taking my love for aesthetics and dominance and manipulating it to make viewers feel a certain way. I have been traveling to Southern Californian cities and photographing how the cities are responding to the pandemic and social issues that are overwhelming the United States. While capturing people in their environment, I also focus on the color that surrounds them, as well as the texture in order to enhance the atmospheric feeling in each place I visit.

As humans we have changed so much during the span of the pandemic. As we continue through this new way of life, I am using street photography to document how people are responding to the virus and other social issues that the world is experiencing. Within the different cities I have been traveling to, I can easily notice the difference in ways that people behave in response to not only the virus, but to each other. These are just a few snapshots of my full collection in which I focus primarily on faces and human interaction to find a clear understanding to how we are emotionally connected to each other.

Wylie Cassinelli Photographer

As an artist I don’t find myself satisfied for long. I am restless with the desire to grow and improve in my creative endeavors. Taking my work beyond photography has allowed me to do so in the past year.

By incorporating handmade installations and using a 3-dimensional thought process I have explored new avenues of photographic composition. With a year of extremely minimized social interaction I had more time available to spend on my creative process, more time to make mistakes and more time to be intentional, I used that time to the best of my ability. While I hope to never feel creatively finished, I want to continue the feeling of freedom that I have recently found within my work.

These self-portraits take you back to the roots of my photographic career. Shooting myself in order to express my inner struggles, desires, and emotions has provided me with a therapeutic process for a long time. This work uses bold color to emphasis elements and subject matter while guiding the ethos of the work. The production of this work rose at moments of success and sank during moments of confusion and loss of direction. Enjoy.

Nayeli Uresti Photographer

When I first started taking pictures they were mainly landscapes and candid photos of family and friends.

This time around I put that focus on myself. Since a young age I have always struggled with my feelings and being able to understand what emotion I was feeling as well as how to express it. I relied on photography being my coping mechanism because of the power an image with emotion can convey.

Silence, Digital Photography

This series is a mix of landscapes and self-portraits of the emotions I go through on a daily basis while self-documenting myself. While some photos speak for themselves, many leave it in the viewers hands to decide what that piece means to them.
