In my illustration work, I blend iconic, notable details of a place or an organization and tell a richly layered story not possible with individual photos. My background in photography, graphic design and printmaking have lead me to developing this concept. My illustrations help an organization really show it's full character and can act as a memorabilia piece and provides a sense of nostalgia.
