Cairn
An illustration of the Dale Head summit cairn in the English Lake District for Cairn Investment Group.
A cairn is a human-made pile of stones, often created as a landmark, memorial site, or for meditation purposes. They can symbolize personal journeys, milestones, balance, and stability. Cairn Investment Group shares these values, and I was asked to illustrate the Dale Head summit cairn to hang as artwork in their Vancouver, WA office space.

Notes to self
Often in the middle/end of a project, I look at the big picture and write up a visual "to do list" of self-critiques.
