About the Artwork:
“This painting is part of an ongoing series exploring a nocturnal fantasy world that awakens after dark. I suffer from severe chronic insomnia, and countless hours spent awake, restless, and alone at night inspired the creation of this escapist fantasy – an alternate world where I could walk through a forest at 3 AM and be surrounded by a glow of bustling, benevolent life.” – Shannon Knight
