Art that listens for
the spirit in all things
I was drawn to create this project out of a love for both the book and its roots. My visits to Lebanon gave me a lasting sense of its beauty and resilience, and a personal connection to the place where Gibran was born.
The Prophet has always spoken to me with its heart-centered wisdom, and illustrating each chapter became a way to slow down with the words. I especially value its vision of compassion and unity, which feels as vital today as when it was first written. My hope is that this illustrated edition offers others the same chance to pause and take the book in more deeply.
Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, artist, and philosopher whose work continues to inspire readers around the world. Born in the mountain village of Bsharri, Lebanon, he emigrated to Boston with his family as a child and later returned to Beirut for his studies before settling again in the United States.
His most famous work, The Prophet (1923), has been translated into more than 100 languages and has never been out of print. Its universal tone reflects Gibran's embrace of wisdom across traditions, which he saw as different paths to the same truth.
I have been creating and experimenting with art throughout my life - from early classes as a child, to minoring in art during college, to many years of steady practice since. Painting gradually became the place where I could bring together reflection, spirit, and story. Based in Virginia, I often find inspiration in both the natural landscape around me and in literature, philosophy, and faith traditions. My work explores how images can open a space for pause and contemplation. I hope my art invites others into that same space: to reflect, to listen more deeply, and to join in a dialogue our world is always in need of.
I welcome commissions and collaborations - let's create something meaningful together.
