More Ash Than Smoke

The paintings you see above are introductory chapter illustrations for my working novel, MORE ASH THAN SMOKE. Currently 9 paintings are completed of a projected series of 33.

 

 MORE ASH THAN SMOKE is a fictional coming of age memoir that explores the complicated culture of American Familial Identity post WWII through present day. The novel explores themes of Loss, Love, Violence, Privilege and Persistence through a series of letters and fantastical stories left by a sculptor to be found posthumously by his grandson.

​

  The project is currently in it’s 3rd draft and seeking both literary and Gallery representation.
