ABOUT THE BOOK
The art is inspired by the architects who came to play, in Post War Fort Lauderdale. This “Moment in Time” began with the large collection of mid-century motels on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Each one of these buildings is unique. The art captures a moment when Fort Lauderdale Beach was a blank canvas for visionary architects. Now, as modern development turns a page, the art becomes even more of a wistful and reverent ode to the architecture of that time.
The pencil drawings are created by enlarging black and white postcards and then hand coloring them. They are all images from Fort Lauderdale Beach between the years of 1945 to 1965. Some of these buildings still exist. Some have been demolished and replaced with modern hotels and condominiums.
