I am a visually impaired sketch artist based in Central Minnesota. Most of my work consists of downtown scenes from around Minnesota in pen, ink, pencil and watercolor. I started my downtown series in 2020 as a way to explore places I am familiar with but also to capture details in my work that I cannot see without a magnifier or zoomed in photograph. This process of drawing downtown scenes in more detail than I can see in real life is a way of understanding the world around me while also being relatable to the people who live and work on the areas I have drawn.
