Final Project

              The style of art that I like to portray is beach/surf art. Being lucky
             enough to grow up on the beach filled with me many memories and
             visual images that I will never forget. For my final project, I wanted to
             give outsiders a chance to see the beauty and tranquility of the ocean and 
             beach. When I say outsiders, I mean people that do not live on the coastline of 
             the United States. Personally, I feel people that live on the beach take it for 
             granted at times and do not appreciate its beauty. We forget that a lot of people
             have never seen the beach. I tried to portray a beach setting in my backyard,
              it is ironic because I've had the beach in my backyard my whole life. I wanted
             to bring the viewers closer to the beach through a photograph, giving them 
              the enjoyment of the beach when they aren't actually there.
