Line

I love an imperfect line! I love the way you can use a consistent line style and play with shape and repetition, creating a cohesive story even in the busiest of images.

Color

I've been surprised by my inclination for bright and saturated colors since I've always dressed in neutral and muted colors. However when it comes to art, I love saturated colors most. I often have a hard time narrowing colors down in my own work, and I find myself admiring the work of artists who can nail a limited palette. I also love playing with the relationship between colors, by overlapping shapes and colors to create entirely new shapes and colors.

Movement

I guess this also falls under repetition, but I love movement that's created by repeated shapes or objects, which is apparent in almost every image I've chosen here.
