For this portfolio, I wanted to focus on connecting the themes of growing up undiagnosed with ADHD, a learning disorder, and severe anxiety with the experience of shelter animals, primarily dogs. I personally find myself relating to them rather strongly. In addition I wanted to push myself to explore the different styles I’ve experimented with in the past further. My questions were “how can I connect the experiences of shelter animals with undiagnosed childhood experiences, and how can this be expressed through my art?”

Black cats are often adopted before Halloween, only to be dumped back at the shelter or worse.

A comparison between the familiar Buddy Bench experience and the experience of a dog still waiting at the shelter. Both waiting for someone to give them a chance.
I always find that despite how long and painful the days get, me and my dog are always happy to see the sun rise before school.

Trying to take care of your inner child is like trying to pick up an injured stray with your bare hands. Painful.

Many breeds are banned by law either in the US or in other countries. Most recently, England banned the breeding and free roaming of XL Bullies. Other breeds banned in other areas include the Belgian Malinois and Pitbull. Being excluded from peers from an early age due to unidentified neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ feels very similar to being “banned” from normal human connection.

I often hear that people dislike hairless cats because of how strange and alien-like they look. In reality, they are sweet and affectionate cats. Tbh same. I wanted to push my physical painting skills a little, and although I don’t think I succeeded spectacularly, I will continue trying.

I struggled through 10 years of math classes with undiagnosed dyscalculia. As a result, I felt like an absolute idiot and was even picked on because of this. I never thought that I’d be anything, do anything, or understand anything with math as a kid, so I’d simply ignore it. I’ve noticed that some dogs do the same with certain tricks they just cannot get the grasp of.
