Positano, Sections + Views

Positano is a beautiful village etched into Italy’s western cliffs on the Amalfi Coast. Walking through the village is an exercise in stepping, viewing, stepping and viewing - and drawing. Sections were a way for me to convey how dramatic the ground shifts are and how incredible the buildings and roads are that hug these cliffs. I also drew views from the shoreline or across the village, rendering only the pattern of openings, doors and windows. Together, they speak to the incredible feat of building into cliffs and the vistas and unique perspectives this allows.
I made the ink drawing as an undergraduate architecture student on travel study abroad with 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.
