GRACY MANOR
The haunted mansion renovation project
In a collaboration with long time friend and artistic colleague, Steve Ziolkowski, this 10+ year project was a pitch to Walt Disney Imagineering for a renovation of the Haunted Mansion in Disney World.

The story was brought to life to tell the tragic story of Captain James T. Gracy and his never-to-be bride Fiona Tillinghast. Set against the backdrop of Resurrection Park Cemetery on the outskirts of New Orleans. Their heartbreaking tale, was written as an homage to the original Disney Land Haunted Mansion, with the addition of being immersed in an actual paranormal haunting in a dilapidated long forgotten mansion.
