Baths of Caracalla, Roma
*All of my Travel Sketches may be re-painted by commission. If you see one you like that is sold or you'd prefer in different colors, contact me!*
A mammoth ruin off the beaten path to the Forum, the Baths of Caracalla are fascinating to wander through, imagining the bathing and exercise and socializing that happened in these vaulted rooms 1800 years ago. Comparing a Renaissance footprint map of the Baths to the current configuration of the ruins is fun - walking through the rooms, finding their place on the plan, reconstructing vaults and walls in your mind. I’ve connected these with color in the drawing.
I made the ink drawing as an architectural history graduate student on fellowship from University of Virginia in 2012. I used watercolor to interpret and enliven the drawing during pandemic quarantine, Spring 2020.

I'm excited to bring nearly 100 of my architectural Travel Sketches, created in mostly Italy, but also Switzerland, France, Spain, Greece, Hungary and Czech Republic from 1998 - 2012, into a Collection: lines drawn on site now illuminated by watercolor. Together, they reveal my personal evolution in architectural travel sketching and offer a piece of travel art that can remind you of your own memories in place, invite you into these spaces with your own experiential vision.
