narrative illustration

I love the power of illustration to convey rich narrative and symbolic content. One of my great passions is the intersection of art and ideas. A beautiful illustration has the ability to both immediately capture the eye and the imagination, as well as inspire deep thought into the often multi-layered meaning of its composition, symbolism and content. At the same time, the content of some narrative illustration is contained in the image itself, and is designe simply to inspire, A single image can appeal to young and old alike, and provide engagement for both the mind and the heart. Below are a series of illustrations from a variety of applications. Enjoy!

the adventurer

This composition was inspired by my own children, and the richness of childhood imaginary play. Some of the most inspiring art comes from a place of child-like wonder, that sees beauty in the ordinary and beholds a world full of hope and possibility.
