Kitchen Wall Artwork

While getting my graduate degree, I lived in a poor neighborhood in north Philadelphia in a rather dilapitated apartment. At times it was quite isolating, but I found beauty in certain moments, like this view of the natural light on the old kitchen wall. The work is pen and watercolor pencil on watercolor paper. The paper is stretched on a wooden frame to appear as a canvas; the sides of the work are decorated in brown watercolor pencil that match the work itself.
