The Aspen Mermaid— Original Pen & Ink Drawing
11×14 inches • Hahnemühle Cotton Rag Paper
The Foundational Artwork for Aspen of Mermaids and the Cursed Valley
This one-of-a-kind pen and ink drawing is the original foundational artwork for the Aspen Mermaid, featured in Mermaids and the Cursed Valley. Created on luxurious 11×14 Hahnemühle cotton rag paper, it showcases the first visual interpretation of Aspen’s mythology—where alpine lakes, wildflowers, and high-country peaks shape the mermaid who guards this mountain town.
