Cemetery Road
And with that, the series is complete. This three-part digital collection was an exploration of seasonal whimsy and the mysterious vibes of forgotten places. From the first piece to this final one, “Cemetery Road,” my goal was to take real structures I’ve photographed and imbue them with the feeling of a modern folk tale.
For this final installment, I used a monochromatic green palette and the enchanting glow of fireflies to create a uniquely eerie and magical atmosphere. It’s been a fantastic journey blending photography, memory, and digital illustration. Physical versions of all three are still in the works!

Hightower Road
Continuing my new three-part illustrative series where seasonal whimsy meets eerie Americana. This second piece is titled “Hightower Road,” and it carries forward the theme of bringing old, forgotten structures back to life with a new, illustrative story.
The style remains graphic and sketch-like, evoking the feel of a classic block print. As with the first piece, this is the digital version, and I’m continuing to develop the physical counterparts. The exploration of bridging these two mediums is at the heart of this series, and “Hightower Road” is the next step in that journey.

Nunnally Road
I’m excited to introduce the first piece in a new three-part illustrative series. The theme is a blend of seasonal whimsy and the gentle, spooky feeling of unique, isolated structures. Over the years, I’ve collected photographs of fascinating buildings, and this series gives them a new life and a new story.
I chose a stark, graphic style with strong linework to evoke the feeling of a classic block print or a storybook illustration. While this image was created digitally, I’m currently working on its physical counterpart, exploring the dialogue between the two mediums. This piece, “Nunnally Road,” is the beginning of that exploration.

St. Simons Red Cedar
From the sun-drenched coast of St. Simons Island, Georgia.
This illustration is a portrait of a single, magnificent Southern Red Cedar that caught my eye. More than just depicting the tree, this piece is a direct study in light—how a bright, clear sun can describe every twist of a branch and lay its entire structure bare in the shadows below.
A quiet moment of observation on the Georgia coast.

A Visit to the Daffodils
This digital illustration presents a stylized garden scene, rendered with a vibrant yet somewhat muted color palette and a distinct layering of textures and lines. The composition features terraced brick walls supporting lush greenery, including rounded purple bushes, various trees depicted with differing levels of detail, and patches of bright green lawn. Figures are sparsely placed within the landscape, adding a touch of narrative ambiguity. The overall effect leans towards a contemporary take on landscape art, blending elements of graphic design with painterly washes of color and a deliberate flattening of perspective. The artist employs a combination of precise linework and more gestural, almost abstract applications of color, particularly the energetic bursts of pink in the foreground, creating a dynamic tension between representation and abstraction.
The illustrative style and focus on simplified forms and expressive color evoke connections to several art movements. The flattened perspective and bold use of color resonate with aspects of Post-Impressionism, particularly the decorative qualities found in the work of artists like Édouard Vuillard. Simultaneously, the graphic quality of the linework and the layering of distinct visual elements bear similarities to aspects of Pop Art, recalling the screen-printed aesthetic and interest in everyday scenes seen in the work of David Hockney. The combination of natural subject matter with a stylized, almost graphic execution creates a unique dialogue between these artistic traditions.
