Rouen 19 is the first piece in my new Travel Escapes series — a mixed media collage inspired by a 2019 trip to Rouen, France. By layering black-and-white travel photos with hand-painted papers, textures, and vibrant inks, I transformed a cherished memory into a richly textured visual story. In this post, I share the process behind creating the piece and the inspiration that fueled it.
