View from a Hill captures two lost souls in the afterlife, sharing a quiet moment as the sun sets over the mountains. Inspired by haunting ghost stories from the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, the piece explores themes of love, loss, and companionship beyond life. The serene landscape contrasts with the ethereal presence of the figures, emphasizing both the beauty of nature and the melancholy of the afterlife. This work reflects my long-standing fascination with tales of lingering spirits and the profound impact such stories have had on my art and storytelling.
