American expat living in Paris. Registered landscape architect in another life who maintains a passion for all things architecture / landscape architecture / urbanism - related. I've been creating art and exhibiting for more than 40 years. Moved to Paris 2+ years ago to study those parks associated with a moment of violence in history, where today there is little, if any evidence of that violence -- the parks are typically places of beauty and recreation. That, too me, is a fascinating dichotomy. So far I have about 50 sites that fall into that category, and i'm sure I will find more with additional research. So the project is to catalog the sites; document, through verbal and visual histories how they have developed; document through my own photography how they are being used today, and then to create new interpretive artworks, blog entries, etc. It's a fascinating journey, and I invite you to come along!! In addition to the originals for sale here on , you'll find my blog at .
