My mom and dad's favorite, this piece was one I had kicked around in my head for four years prior to creating it. Using a straw to blow acrylic paint around the illustration board, I brought my spider-like trees to life and using the white of the board, I shrouded the scene in a winter fog. Camouflaged in the trees are several vapors (ghosts) who have set up the fire to lure the entity with the lantern (another vapor, perhaps) to arrive and inspect. What happens next is left to the imagination. In the majority of my work I am partial to the juxtapositioning of natural elements, such as fire and ice, or water and rocks. The night and moon is also a recurring theme of mine.
