Designing with color

       Since I was a little girl everything I ever did always came back to designing and making things and people look good. After spending my childhood decorating doll houses and watching design shows; i realized that working with colors, textures, shapes and light is my passion in life. So when I got to Sarasota High School I took the four years of both Interior Design and Drafting to prepare me with all the basics. It was such a good experience; especially because I had two great teachers from which I learned so much. By my junior year I was sure Interior Design is my passion and the degree I wanted to graduate college with. I was also introduced to a cosmetology program at Sarasota County Technical Institue which allowed to me to get my license part time, so i can be licensed by the time I graduate highschool.
       Well,  unfortunatly I didnt end up not getting all the hours I needed because at I didnt take it seriously in the beginning. It ended up being my other passion, but I had to pick between that or just going off to interior design school. I picked the Academy of Art University, so me and my honey packed and moved and trying to get everything settled down has been such a journey. A year later, I am through with a semester in my design degree, and am enrolled in a Paris Beauty College, working on finishing my cosmetology license. I finally found a job working with some very succesful stylists at the Marhsa Tobia's Salon. Im Marsha's assistant and student and love my experience there; which is preparing me for my future job as a stylist. I plan on being licensed by December and then going back to design school to finish my second degree. I plan on expanding both careers as far as I can and hope to love my career and create beautiful work.

Death Dance - Unique Fashion Illustration

My overall experience of this piece is very distracting which definitely catches the eye. I think for a fashion student this is a wonderful artistic piece, representing the concept and the material of the dress. Its impressing how so much movement is created by the models different positions as well as the way the feathers are placed together. Also, I really like the way the bold color stands out in the contrast of the black and white background. The only thing not working for me is the red spots splattered all over the background; focus is taken off the red being only in the bright dress. I wonder what the artist is going to do next. Is it really going to be transformed into a dress? I would love to see the outcome! There is actually companies out there, such as Orsa Feathers specializing in ostrich feather design; expensive and luxurious.
