2025 Halloween Art (Inspired by My Childhood)

I grew up in a rural area near Hershey, Pennsylvania. 

My grandmother's family, the Patricks, owned "Pat's Hill" where the now-famous Hotel Hershey and rose gardens sit. 

I lived on a beautiful 16-acre family farm. It was a great place to let your imagination run wild - especially with the dense trees and creek that ran through the property. 

I'm finding that I use a lot of those childhood memories of feeling a little "alone in the woods" in my artwork - especially when I create my annual Halloween design. I like making "serious" art but there's nothing more fun than my yearly "spooky season" illustration. (See the demo of my creation of this artwork here.)

For everyone else as crazy about Halloween as I am, take heart: as of this writing there are only 72 days to go!
