Here is a sketch I did at the Cincinnati Urban Sketchers meetup last weekend. These statues are owned by the Museum Center.

Here is a sketch for Reds opening day, which was this week! I finished this about two weeks ago, over three sittings. This is the main entrance of the Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds. #reds #baseball #cincinnati #openingday #baseball #uskcincinnati #urbansketchers

Here is my sketch from Wednesday's Urban Sketchers meetup at Darkness Brewing. When I showed this sketch to a friend later in the evening the first thing she said was, "Is that an ewok?" Yes, my friend. That is an ewok sitting at the table. :-)

Here are some (of the better) sketches from last night's meet up at Arthur Murray Dance Studio here in town. Getting to watch a cha cha class was awesome, and a big thanks to the studio for having us! #uskcincinnati #urbansketchers #usk #cincinnati

Since the account just launched, most of these events are in the past...but look how MANY there were! Come and join us January 27, then watch this space for February's Events!

2024 in review.
Happy New Year to all of you. May 2025 be a good one!

And here is my third book of art- a 68-page book of 140 illustrations of iconic landmarks, favorite restaurants, and the happenings of daily life. I hope this book gives you a sense that you’re wandering the streets of Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. #cincinnati #over-the-rhine

Here's the second art book I published, "Exploring Ravenswood." Completed during 2021-22. It's got 130 sketches of things in my then-neighborhood. Copies are for sale on my website:

This felt like a fitting first post. It's my first art book that I published in the summer of 2021. I took a bunch of walks around Rogers Park, my then-neighborhood in Chicago. I took hundreds of photos for reference material. I worked tirelessly in my sketchbook. This is the result.
