Maps, Landscapes and Travel Sketches offer a visual memory of Place at three scales: aerial, distant yet omnipresent, and intimate\/inhabited. Together, the variety of pieces manifest a place not only through its salient features but they evoke a wonder at the natural creations alongside personal memories made in place. Even while representing real tangible places, the work is abstract as visual perceptions trump informatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor is subtle yet significant in my work. I am drawn to natural, muted colors that support the stronger lines and forms in the compositions. Colors are selected to match memories or the feelings that surface while transporting my mind to the place I am conjuring with brush + line. Through a range of familiar to abstract, I call the artwork \"Art Maps.\" It is my education and practice as an architect and urban designer that led me to appreciate and manifest the sensory value of places. In my work, I hope to honor special places and the desire for mementos of these places in which we belong, thrive, remember and aspire to our truest selves.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paper Luxe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46025973530820,"sku":"watercolor-your-town-workshop-5-14-26","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/3241\/files\/paper-luxe-workshop-watercolor-your-town-tacoma-neighborhood-thursday-5-14-26-1231454331.jpg?v=1775593209","url":"https:\/\/paper-luxe.com\/products\/watercolor-your-town-tacoma-neighborhood-thursday-5-14-26","provider":"Paper Luxe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
