Greece was warm and fascinating, to me. I loved seeing the greek letters and having no idea how to read them. I was intrigued by the many Greek Orthodox churches in Athens and sketched this large church after venturing inside for a few minutes to listen, beyond the thick velvet curtains at the front doors. It was all so mysterious -but I could break down the facade’s geometry as I drew from the plaza and appreciate its complexity and symmetry. There was a small chapel in the garden. I sketched another small neighborhood church with a tiny plaza just a few blocks away.
I made the ink drawing as an undergraduate architecture student on independent travel study from the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech in 1998. 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.
