Note from the Artist

I started my Spooky CK line in 2008 to concentrate on darker imagery and more experimental styles of art. The look I'm going for with these pieces is haunting yet sweet. Spooky CK art is meant to be thought provoking. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

★ I have many fond memories of visiting the Enchanted Forest theme park in Maryland as a child. The park and it's magical cast of nursery rhyme themed characters profoundly inspired my creativity as a child and art as an adult. ~ CK ★
