Midnight at the Railyard features the Centennial Caboose, a vintage Frisco train caboose in historic downtown Rogers, Arkansas. The caboose stands stoically in the night, surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants, and illuminated only by a vintage street lamp and the full, bright moon. Hand-drawn digital art. Prints available in 20 x 16, 10 x 8, and 7 x 5.

Bio
My work reflects both my curiosity and my need for order. As someone with both ADHD and autism, my art provides order in a world that, to me, often seems entirely out of order. I tend to find beauty in unconventional and unexpected places.
The addition of details is incredibly important to me; even the most minuscule, insignificant detail affords me an opportunity for focus that is as much meditative as it is artistic.
My hope is that the viewer will slow down long enough to consider these details and perhaps weave their own narrative around them. In this way, I’m able to give them the same meditative focus in viewing the piece that I had in drawing it.
