Terry Block Building is one of five pieces in my Bentonville Sunsets collection. It features the original Bentonville Square landmark against a sunset sky. The windows are illuminated from within with the iconic glowing neon sign on the front corner of the building. Hand-drawn digital art. Prints available in 17 x 11, 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.
