In the drop down menu under 'Gallery' you can find pictures from the following:
Coloured Pencil:
One of the first mediums I tried besides pencil-sketching that turned out spectacularly. At first, I thought you could never make anything real-looking enough with coloured pencils to bother trying. After seeing an art show exclusively in coloured pencil, I changed my mind and went home to experiment. Although it may not seem like a traditional fine-art medium, I'm a spokesperson for it and hope to see more art done in coloured pencil in the coming years.

Acrylics:
My most used art form. There are two types of paintings in this gallery; the more traditional realistic painting (usually with a bit of Tori-quirk) and colourful abstracts. There is lots of different subject matter, so no matter what your cup of tea, I'm sure you'll find something you like.
|
Pastels:
I remember using chalk pastels in summer camps (and actually producing half-decent artwork with them) but somehow I never got around to trying professional pastels until recently. They are so lovely to work with, although expensive to keep a large collection to work with.
|
Watercolour:
I used to love watercolour, although I very rarely use proper watercolour medium and instead opt for watercolour pencil-crayons. I find with the watercolour pencils you have much more control and have the ability to insert detail you wouldn't normally be able to use. I plan to experiment with watercolours again in the future.
|
Sketches:
This is a place where all the odds and sods that don't fit in any definite category come to stay. I have pencil sketches, chalk pastels, markers and everything in-between hiding in here.
|
Photography:
I take my camera everywhere I go. I take more pictures than nessesary, but sometimes you get those few fantastic photos that make it all worthwhile.
|
Printmaking:
Usually Linocuts, this is a collection of prints that I have available. I am willing to make a print that suits your taste.
Other:
This is a collection of some of the stranger art pieces I've done. From Rube Goldberg designs to life-size telephone booths to paperclip chandeliers.
|
Balloon Animals:
A classic 'Tori' piece. These bring a bit of fun and lots of happiness. Every one is hand painted. I take requests for animals and colours if you would like your own personalized one.
Oils:
One of the oldest mediums around, but yet the newest one I have tried. I thought it would be similar to acrylics, but I was surprised to find they are very different. There is not much work in here seeing as it is a new form to me and I'm just starting to experiment. My grandmother used to teach oil painting classes in her basement, but I sadly never learned from her. I can only hope I become half as good as she was as I grow older.
