Cairn

An illustration for Cairn Investment Group's office in Vancouver, WA.

A cairn is a human-made pile of stones, often created as a landmark, memorial site, or for meditation. They symbolize personal journeys, balance, milestones, and stability. Cairn Investment Group shares these values, and they asked me to illustrate the Dale Head summit cairn (located in the English Lake District) to display in their new office.

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.
