Urbanscapes

Interior of a room with a black leather chair next to a small round wooden table, a window with wooden trim on the left, abstract wall art with red accents on the wall, a white globe floor lamp, and tiled floor.

A cultural narrative, documenting and reflecting on the changing times, energy and rhythm of urban life.
”In dramatic contrast to seascapes, I am drawn to capturing urban life and the ever changing architectural landscape. There is a dynamic to cities, what is apparent on the surface, and that which is layered below the surface that the patina of time reveals.

I fell in love with Cityscapes when I lived in NYC. The city that never sleeps has an undeniable energy you can’t help but feel. The familiar skyline and iconic buildings, the rawness and grit of the streets is so captivating.” Niki shares
