Homecoming

2019 · Decatur, AL · 40′ × 70′

Painted in my hometown for the Alabama College of Art, and for my sister Lara Lee, who grew up on those same streets and passed away in 2006. Not a memorial, but a celebration of the beautiful, ephemeral parts of life. She holds a flower whose stem is dead but whose bloom is still full.

Playing the Sound of the Wind

2021 · Athens, AL · 24′ × 48′

Commissioned by Athens Main Street to honor the Tennessee Valley Old Times Fiddlers Convention. My family has always moved through the world by music. My grandfather hosted the Grand Ole Opry alongside Dolly Parton. My father passed in November 2020. This wall was a chance to honor all of it.

The Scottie — multi-story mural by Adam Stephenson at a Rangewater luxury development in Nashville, Tennessee (2023), Victorian ornament panel detail

The Scottie

2023 · Nashville, TN · Multi-story

Rangewater Real Estate came looking for something purely decorative for their new luxury development. I went back to my early studio work: deconstructed Victorian ornament, and a quiet nod to Nudie Cohn, the tailor who dressed the legends of country music since the 1940s. Nashville deserved more than wallpaper.
