INSPIRATION: When visiting Portland for the first time on the plane over I saw how industrial parts of the city is. It made me wonder about Portland's history.
Industrialization has always fascinated me, because I try to imagine what the land was like before humans changed it. Even where I lived in the Seattle area, it didn't exist 40 years ago; it was all farmland.
My friend Cody told me all about how Portland was industrialized, and it led me to do more research into how the city came to be.
I was born and raised in the Midwest, so learning about how the West came to be has always truly fascinated me.
This painting is about exploring a new city, and loving it so much you learn all about its historical culture.
