There’s something about Paris that stays with you.

Maybe it’s the soft glow of the streetlights at dusk, the quiet clinking of coffee cups in a hidden café, or the feeling of getting just a little lost down a cobblestone alley and loving every second of it. And obviously the food, the brocante and the fashion.

For me, Paris has always felt like a love letter to beauty, and these illustrated Paris prints are my way of writing back.

Paris art: The story behind my Paris illustrations

Each of my Paris prints was inspired by the quiet, intimate details that make the city unforgettable, not just the big tourist attractions, but the in-between moments.

The way geraniums spill out of window boxes in Montmartre. The soft curves of a wrought-iron balcony. A single vintage bicycle leaning against a stone wall.

While I’ve visited Paris many times and draw it from my memories, I also sketch it through books, films, and daydreams. Paris has always lived in my imagination as a place of creativity, solitude, and quiet beauty.

A personal connection

These pieces are deeply personal. They're not just about a city, they’re about how I felt in that city. Safe. Curious. Quietly alive.

As an introvert and artist, I often find myself drawn to moments of stillness and softness. Paris gave me that in abundance. Paris isn’t in a rush like we are in America. It’s about sipping a coffee alone by the window and sketching what I saw. That’s the spirit I try to infuse into each print: peaceful, intentional, romantic without being loud.

Art that feels like a getaway

When you hang one of my Paris prints in your space, my hope is that it offers a little escape, an invitation to slow down and savor something beautiful. Whether it’s a tiny corner of your office, a reading nook, or your kitchen wall, these pieces are meant to make your space feel just a bit more magical.

Because even if you’re not in Paris, you can still bring the feeling of it home.
