Throne of Glass
You could rattle the stars. You could do anything, if only you dared
Officially licensed dust jackets made from 33 oil paintings over 2 years
The idea of this collection was based on a vision of bringing the complex story of Throne of Glass to life in a cohesive set of 33 original oil paintings designed specifically as custom book covers. The essence of the artwork is to bring the viewer deeper into the story, in moving character moments, and follow the journey of Aelin as she grows as a character and a woman.
The body of work also depicts characters essential to Aelin's story, showing the richness of the world that she takes part in and those who support her growth alone the way.
Hidden Meanings
Each painting is based on my own experiences reading and re-reading the series and finding what moments moved me. Sometimes while reading, I would find a small scene that gripped me and an image would come to mind. Even though I could have focused on larger moments, I chose to depict moments that I've now come to realize fans adore.
Landscapes have always been one of my favorite subjects to depict, and with this collection I enjoyed designing fantasy landscapes to capture the atmosphere of the story.
I Will Not Be Afraid
My time spent in the world of Sarah J. Maas has shown me that at its core, this series is beloved because of its depiction of powerful woman. Important quotes from each book are embossed on the back of each book cover.
