Art has the power to extend beyond the canvas. Through collaborations with filmmakers and other creative professionals, these works become part of larger stories—helping to build atmosphere, history, and visual identity while remaining original works of art in their own right.
Working directly with an independent filmmaker, these pieces were created to support the visual storytelling of A Haunting We Will Go. The collaboration combined historical inspiration, folklore, and handcrafted artwork designed specifically for the production.
Athenodorus Scroll - Handcrafted Scroll - Created to serve both the production and the story, this handcrafted scroll was developed as a complete work of art, balancing historical inspiration, period research, and traditional artistic techniques. Every detail—from the aged materials and weathered finish to the handwritten illustrations and text—was carefully considered to reinforce the film's atmosphere while remaining authentic as a standalone piece. The piece demonstrates how traditional artistic techniques can help establish authenticity and immerse viewers in the world of the story.
Headless Horseman - Original Acrylic Painting - Created for A Haunting We Will Go, this large-scale painting reimagines one of the Hudson Valley's most enduring legends. Drawing inspiration from Washington Irving's classic tale, the piece was designed to evoke the mystery, folklore, and atmosphere surrounding the legendary rider while supporting the film's visual narrative. Rather than functioning solely as a prop, the painting was created as a finished work of art—balancing historical inspiration, dramatic composition, and traditional painting techniques to become part of the story while remaining a standalone piece.
Headless Horseman (Glowing Edition) - Original Acrylic Painting - The same painting viewed under low light reveals an additional layer created with phosphorescent pigments. Rather than altering the composition, the glow effect was incorporated to enhance the supernatural atmosphere of the legendary rider, allowing the artwork to transform as the lighting changes.
Selected by Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for the 2026 Blood Ward Haunted House. The illustration was commissioned for official event merchandise and later expanded for use as the event's promotional poster.
