I made a wolf because they are strong like me. I made a picture of a wolf and used it as a template. I made different prints and patterns on handmade papers and cut them into different shapes and sizes. I then glued them on in layers to the shape of my wolf. I punched out the eyes, nose and part of its ears and glued them over my collage papers.

Petals, Wings & Wild Things
Two4Nine
Scholarship Award Entrant
Youth Award Entrant
This richly layered textile piece draws you into a lush, dreamlike garden where nature?s wild beauty comes alive. Set against a bold red fabric, vibrant monstera leaves stretch across the surface, creating a backdrop for delicate moths, fluttering butterflies, and soft pink flowers. Each stitched element tells a quiet story of contrast?between strength and fragility, boldness and grace. Petals, Wings & Wild Things invites the viewer to pause and look closely, to notice the fine balance between order and wildness, and to find beauty in the unexpected harmony of nature?s textures and forms.
