PARIS, FRANCE
“Sketching and painting Notre Dame connects me to centuries of craftsmanship. Every sketch gives me a deeper appreciation of the skilled hands that produced the ornate, lace-like external coverings.”

ENVIRONMENT AS INSPIRATION
living in paris
The sketches and watercolors in this collection are from two different years of living in Paris. For our first sojourn, my family was lucky enough to nestle down in the artist Daumier’s studio on the Seine. In this space, I loved the feeling of being a part of a larger artistic story. Below are some of the views from and of the studio.
