CREATE.

My name is Amy. I like to make art and stories, and I attend Kutztown University. This is my life in words and pictures.
Home sweet home with my lion and tiger and bear (oh my!).
My freshman year of college at Kutztown University is officially complete ! My things are unpacked, and I am ready for summer.
If every year goes by this quickly, college will be a breeze !
P.S. Been back in Media for exactly 24 hours - already got Wawa twice. I’m doing it right.

Hibiscus Flower. 18x24 (each) linoleum ink prints.


I want to do something, right here, right now, to shame them, to make them accountable, to show the Capitol that whatever they do or force us to do there is a part of every tribute they can’t own. That Rue was more than a piece in their Games. And so am I. A few steps into the woods grows a bank of wildflowers. Perhaps they are really weeds of some sort, but they have blossoms in beautiful shades of violet and yellow and white. I gather up an armful and come back to Rue’s side. Slowly, one stem at a time, I decorate her body in the flowers. Covering the ugly wound. Wreathing her face. Weaving her hair in bright colors. They’ll have to show it. Or, even if they choose to turn the cameras elsewhere at this moment, they’ll have to bring them back when they collect the bodies and everyone will see her then and know I did it. I step back and take one last look at Rue. She could really be asleep in that meadow after all. “Bye, Rue,” I whisper. I press the three middle fingers of my left hand against my lips and hold them out in her direction. Then I walk away without looking back.

These might look like photographs, but it’s not all black and white when it comes to the work of this artist.

Despite looking like they have been captured on a camera, these are actually hand-drawn images created by hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden.

The 47-year-old, from Scotland, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail, often just using only a pencil.
