This series of paintings is the product of a process of reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. After reading the novels, time was spent reflecting on prominent themes in each novel. Next, the themes were translated into sketches. Finally, the sketches were transformed into a series of four paintings. One motivation for this project was to interact with some engaging pieces of literature. Another motivation was to collect images and themes for a series of paintings. The final goal of this creative project was to gain insight into how literature could be integrated into a visual arts curriculum.Honors CollegeThesis (B.F.A.
