An Illustrated Life


Because the objects we love tell our story.


An Illustrated Life is a custom series I’ve created for over 25 years. Each piece is a visual biography — composed of meaningful objects, symbols, and memories — rendered in pen, ink, and watercolor. These artworks are often commissioned to mark a transition: a move, a graduation, a wedding, a retirement, or simply to honor someone’s sense of self.

Examples:

  • A dorm room piece filled with comforting items from childhood and identity symbols

  • A family tribute commissioned decades ago, filled with home, heritage, and shared memories

  • A new beginning — captured in cherished items that tell the story of where someone has been and where they’re going
