Vernazza, Cinque Terre
*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!*
Vernazza is one of the five “fishing villages” that comprise the Cinque Terre on Italy’s western coast, on the Ligurian Sea. I drew the village as viewed from the sea in 2007, then later added three sketches made fifteen years earlier of passages and pathways within the village. Now, watercolor clarifies the pathways and stirs the sea.
I made the view drawing while traveling with my brother over holiday break in 2007; the travel was a generous gift from the architect I worked for in Savannah Georgia. I made the three “experiential” drawings as an architecture student in 1998 while traveling with the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech. 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.
Thanks for helping to DO GOOD: 25% of the sale of each piece will be donated to Lifting Hands International* (LHI), a 501(c)(3) public charity that specializes in international and domestic relief and aid for refugees of war-torn countries of origin.
