Dear readers, gazers, critics, searchers...

Welcome to my blog!  My name is Samantha Yang, and these are images of my artwork.  In upcoming posts, you will see a title, an image, pertinent work information (dimensions, media, dates, etc.), and probably some tidbits about each piece regarding process, inspiration, fluff.

I am open to any and all feedback.  Art is a method of communication, and the best art creates a dialog between the viewers and the work.  Please feel free to despise, adore, be bored, be intrigued, be critical, or be all of the above.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Silent Dilemma

Ink and charcoal on paper

Not for sale

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  This seems to be the most Valentiney piece I have.  

This piece was the result of a unique challenge to create a self-portrait in the image of someone else while reading your favorite book and eating your favorite food.  I chose to do mine in the image of Clara Bow, a silent film actress of the '20s.  The book is Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, and the food is chocolate cake.  The text says "But Darling, it could destroy us!"
