In 2009, Laura Davidson<\/a> took inspiration from the cities that she visited and created\u00a09 Cities, One Artist<\/em><\/a> in a small edition of 7. Each hand colored dry point print depicts a monument from each respective city and includes a handwritten caption naming the buildings. The beautiful, muted color palette is a lovely contrast against the vibrant 22 c. gold details.\u00a0There are 10 prints in total.<\/p>\n

The book is on a smaller, more intimate scale measuring 2″ high by 4\u00bd” long.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few words from Laura regarding her work:
<\/strong>I love to travel and have been so inspired by it. I think it is good to get out of the studio and look at what is out there and what can inspire.<\/p>\n
