The artist included aspects of Moravian Hymnody and had a particular skill in their cursive. It is also drawn on special paper with engraved scenes, which was unique in the works of known fraktur artists. Other common symbols in their art are pilasters used as portions of borers, large geometric balls that are sometimes surrounded by a piece of verse, and snakes twined with texts such as hymn lyrics.
Four known artists of this artist are in the collection of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, and other works are owned by the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, and Winterthur Museum.
