Meaningful Places
Every place has a story...
Some places become part of who we are—a childhood home, a favorite storefront, the chapel where vows were exchanged, or the front porch where generations gathered. Through watercolor, I love preserving not just their architecture, but the memories they hold.
• From Photograph to Watercolor •
Family Homes
Some of my favorite projects have been homes filled with memories—places where children grew up, families gathered, and milestones were celebrated. While I rarely accept private commissions today, these illustrations continue to shape how I approach every collection I create.
Created as the cover illustration for Jenny
Marrs' book, this piece became one of the most
meaningful projects of my career. Rather than simply
painting a house, I illustrated the place where so many of their family's stories began.
For one HGTV Fixer to Fabulous renovation, I
created a custom watercolor that became a commemorative wine label honoring a family's
return home after a devastating tornado. The
bottle serves as a reminder that some places—
and the stories they hold—are worth celebrating.
Stories from the Community
Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel​
One of Northwest Arkansas' most recognizable landmarks, this watercolor has become one of my most collected local prints.
The Berry Farm
Created for The Berry Farm, a Northwest Arkansas nonprofit founded by Dave and Jenny Marrs. The illustration became part of the farm's visual identity, supporting a mission that funds agricultural training and education for orphaned and vulnerable youth in Zimbabwe through Help One Now.
The Welcome Inn
Some places carry stories across generations. Originally a 19th-century farmstead, The Welcome Inn was thoughtfully restored into a place of hospitality and rest. This illustration celebrates the beauty of preserving history while welcoming new memories.
Interested in a Commission?
I currently accept only a small number of custom illustration projects each year as my schedule allows. If you have a meaningful project you'd like to discuss, I'd love to hear about it!
