Where the Cottonwoods Grow
Where the Cottonwoods Grow is a body of work that addresses themes of identity, nostalgia, and solitude through achingly vivid colors and illustrative compositions. The story unfolds like a life blooming, starting with fairytale-esque day dream of siblings in Smokey and the Bandit, to hesistant and hopeful connection in Too in Love to Die.

Inspiration for this body of work came from John Wayne: A Love Story by Joan Didion, the folk album How Sad, How Lovely by Connie Converse, antique book covers, and found vintage photographs.
