In Whitney's words

From my studio blog

I created this massive collage, my first architectural portrait, for a Seattle client back in 2019 when I was living there.

They are the family who owns the Space Needle so this was a very special project…

Special thanks to Crows Nest Yachts on Lake Union for gifting me all of their recycled boating magazines!

Hanging in the family's Seattle home, right where the city it shows can be seen out the window.
