I’m excited to share the cover for our next book, Universe of Rainbows, written by Matt Forrest Esenwine and published by Eerdmans Publishing Co. This collaboration is over a year in the making and you will not believe the content of the poetry, all very real subjects and locations, and I tried my best to capture and illustrate them in the book. These places are truly wondrous and beautiful - I couldn’t help getting a little emotional learning about them and gathering the reference imagery. Thanks so much, as always, to Holly Hoover for your inspired art direction and design. Universe of Rainbows publishes, April 1, 2025. We can’t wait to share!

For a behind the scenes look at the process, I’m including some of the alternative sketch ideas we explored. I could see all of these being effective options, but I’m so happy with the final cover art. Hope you enjoy too!
