Lighthouse Series

This series explores Michigan’s historic lighthouses through narrative-driven illustration, using their history and relationship with the Great Lakes as the foundation for each composition. Research into the landmarks informed the architectural details, environments, and visual storytelling, while dramatic waves, atmospheric lighting, and dynamic compositions were used to convey the scale and power of the surrounding water.

Each illustration was developed to capture a distinct sense of place while maintaining a cohesive visual language across the series. The result is a collection that combines historical research with expressive composition to portray the enduring connection between Michigan’s lighthouses and the sea.
