    Small stream at Little Mulberry

    This illustration comes from a reference photo I took years ago during a hike. I’ve always loved how the water in this small stream cuts through the heavy rocks and fallen debris.

    To capture the richness of the season, I used pen and ink for the structure, but relied on an acrylic wipe and india inks for the color. I feel this perfectly mimics the texture of mossy stones and the deep, rusty tones of autumn leaves on the forest floor. A permanent record of a fleeting season.

    Hidden Falls

    This hidden waterfall in North Georgia was difficult to find when I photographed it years ago, and today, it’s impossible to reach. It exists now only in memory and in this illustration.

    Unicoi, an Interior Study #01

    Some rooms are like crystals; they hold and refract the light of past moments. This latest piece in my “Chambers” series focuses on a small seating area at Unicoi Lodge, treating it as a container for the very atmosphere of the place.

    The warm, glowing light from the fixtures mixes with the cool, bright daylight from the windows, filling the space with a unique, nostalgic energy. The rich textures in the chairs feel like the imprint of countless conversations. It’s an exploration of “Interiority”—not just of a room, but of the memories and light it holds, making it a true chamber of memory.
