His talent and creativity were evident in his diverse body of work, which ranged from classic literature to thought-provoking sketches. One of his notable contributions was the stunning illustrations he created for "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" in 1900. Through intricate details and vibrant colors, Sullivan brought to life the poetic verses with his unique artistic style.

" With masterful strokes, he captured the duality and inner struggle within these complex characters. Sullivan himself became a subject when he painted his self-portrait in 1933. The oil-on-canvas masterpiece showcased not only his technical skill but also revealed glimpses into the artist's soul through subtle brushwork and introspective expression. His ability to transform reality continued to shine through in his pen sketch from "Line: An Art Study, " where Don Quixote came alive on paper. The attention to detail and fluidity in this piece demonstrated Sullivan's deep understanding of character portrayal. Beyond fictional tales, it also explored themes that touched upon humanity's essence. In works like "Abou Ben Adhem" or "And When The Angel Showed Him The Names Of Those Whom Love Of God Had Blest, " he delved into spirituality and love for fellow beings with profound sensitivity. Sullivan further showcased versatility by venturing into different mediums such as watercolor. Pieces like "The Tavern Door" or "The Happy Man Found" exuded warmth and charm while inviting viewers into whimsical worlds filled with joyous encounters. His artistry extended beyond still images; it encompassed storytelling too.
