What started as a break in my day, became something more. Over a year ago, I started walking daily to historic Main Street in Park City, Utah. Really paying attention to the Mining-era buildings, Victorian homes, modern builds, all standing shoulder to shoulder. I love its quaintness, the way so many architectural styles live together in harmony.
As I photographed these buildings, it took on a life of its own. Photos became sketches, sketches became pieces I’d shape on my computer, worked until they felt right. No plan, it just happened, and it’s become one of my favorite creative outlets.
These aren’t about perfect detail. I’m after the feeling, something walked past a hundred times without really being seen. Loose lines, a little imperfect, the way a memory of a building sits in your mind rather than a photograph of it. That’s what I want on paper.
YOUR PLACE.
Have a place you’d love to see this way? Send your favorite photo: a home, a storefront, a building that means something and I’ll give it the same attention I gave Main Street.
Each piece starts with your photo, then takes shape through sketched lines, layered color, and digital touches, then printed on 32pt Mohawk archival paper, made to be kept for generations.
