Senior Independent Study
Sweeney Todd Set
This is probably my biggest solo design to date. I’ve done some set design since this project but after doing this, those were a piece of cake!
Woodworking was the new study here. I knew I could paint. I knew I could design. But could I actually build, finish, and be proud of my work? On a time crunch? Alone? And I could. :)
This project really challenged me and was a huge place of growth. It was nice seeing such a big project appear from my own head. This proved to me I could do anything!
Blog post with more info on this project to come.

Covid Sketch!
Marker on paper
This started as a simple doodle and I ended up really loving the final piece I developed. I drew this during my junior year of college. Here’s the situation I was in: Literally exhausted from being a Musical Theater major, working at night, and being in rehearsals. Then… all my work was about to pay off! I was about to do a show at school (Company) which I was quite excited about, and my first onstage show that was actually being put up at my school, not being cancelled. (Covid times man…)
Speaking of covid: Like half the cast of the show got covid. I was stressed and upset because I thought I was gonna miss my show, on top of being a bit sick myself. (In the end I did get to go on in the show. I got to eat brownies onstage in this show and do karate… so much fun!)
My roommates were in the clear, but I was quarantining in my room with Covid which I hated at the time. I was binge watching Shameless (which is one of my favorite TV shows) and everyone knows my celebrity crush is Jeremy Allen White. So this is what evolved that day. I love temperature maps and of course color so this was just an enjoyable exercise. As much as I hate being sick, I always find it is a time that forces me to slow down, which sometimes just leads to art I love.

Figure Drawing
Charcoal and chalk on paper
This is quite the iconic Mallory Green piece. I did LOTS of figure drawing for a while. During my junior year of high school, I joined my first art classes at Adelphi University. I studied figure drawing with a live model every week, and it was totally life-changing. I ended up taking a lot from this class and enrolled again my senior year!
This piece was actually not from that specific class, but a school field trip from that era. We went on a field trip to (I believe) the Nassau County Museum of art where we took a figure drawing class. The model was actually someone I had drawn at Adelphi before which I remember I thought was super cool, and this was my final drawing from that trip. Since this was more of an intro lesson, I loved that I kinda felt like I knew what I was doing and was able to just enjoy the ride.
This was NOT from the live model in class. I did not cut off her arms and legs. Not my vibe. But this was a statue that we did a 1 hour drawing of at the end of class. I remember this was one of the first pieces where I felt like a true artist doing true artist things! This hung above my bed for years and is still in my workspace today.

Snooki Lisa
Acrylic on canvas
This was a piece I did for an assignment in high school in 2018 and is definitely a piece that helped my style advance. Inspired by Kehinde Wiley’s White House Portrait of Barack Obama, we had to do a portrait of a celebrity juxtaposed into another scene or background. I decided on Snooki because one: I am a 2000’s baby at heart, so naturally I am obsessed with her, and two: I thought she juxtaposed into the Mona Lisa just too perfectly. Incorporating her jewelry, iconic poof, tan tines, and incredibly thrown together smoky eye was what I thought all the cool girls looked like when I was a little girl.
I would love to develop this piece a bit more, maybe I’ll do an updated rendition or a similar project one day. Otherwise, I really love what this piece represents and encompasses for my journey, style, confidence, and sense of humor.

Eternal Sunshine
Acrylic on canvas
This has been one of my favorite pieces for a very long time. It has followed me to each bedroom while I’m away on contracts, and is currently on my bedroom wall at home. There is so much I love about this movie, this piece, and these actors.
Kate Winslet is so badass yet so feminine in every role she does. Jim Carrey is a comedy icon who can also act DOWN a dramatic role. His openness with mental health struggles was certainly comforting to me growing up with lots of anxiety. Most of all, both of these actors are truly shapeshifters into whatever role they are playing. That is exactly what I aspire to have in my acting career.
Now for this movie, I became obsessed with The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when I found it during my senior year of high school. It had my favorite actors, was based on Long Island, and was found right after a boyfriend and I had broken up. It sounded perfect!
This film was the first piece of visual media to genuinely make me cry. In my life. Ever. I remember all my friends SOBBING while watching movies or looking at paintings growing up, and I could never do it. I didn’t cry during the first time I watched this movie, or even the 5th, but I remember that cry being a fat one. Honestly, I think this was a huge moment for me because being able to feel and release my emotions had been my biggest struggle in my life so far. I was just not able to do it, no one taught me how. Being an artist, I thought it was strange I didn’t know the feeling of crying at a piece of art. I just remember that breakdown feeling monumental. I did not cry at any other piece of art for a while after this. A few years.
My anxiety is what was holding me back in all of my art, no matter what medium, for the entirety of my life thus far.
I had a boyfriend freshman year of college who I was absolutely obsessed with. I thought he was it, I was so smitten and I was convinced we were gonna be married and that was my person! BUT my mental health was in such a terrible state during our relationship, it was the start of covid, and we were simply 18. When we broke up I was devastated. I was already feeling so lost and out of control of my life and I felt like I had nowhere to go. One day I started painting while watching this and Saturday Night Fever double-feature and this is what came out.
I’ve come so far with my mental health journey since then, but this piece and this movie obviously is a great representation of so much of my life at the time.
I love this painting, the heartbreaking story of this movie, and the reflection I’ve found in this piece, most of all the steps of the journey it all helped me go through.
