About This Image

The streets of Cambridge, England, seemed to be one beautiful vignette after another. Round a corner or peek through a door and it seemed there was invariably some classic old architecture to see. If I hadn’t been preparing to bid farewell to England, I have no doubt I would have turned my afternoon in Cambridge into days if it had just been possible!

This Cambridge courtyard print is a beautiful illustration of how lovely the city of Cambridge is. This is the Wren Chapel at historic Emmanuel College. The baroque chapel also shows the architectural heritage of Cambridge as the baroque style Wren Chapel was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Wren, of course, is the famed 17th century architect who designed and built the new St. Paul’s Cathedral and a number of other landmark buildings in London after the great fire.

Emmanuel College is known to Cambridge locals as “Emma” which helps explain my title for this architecture print. It’s an album title that some among you may recognize. The title reminded me of the architectural heritage of this college and the long history of this beautiful British city.

Aside from the classically beautiful architecture of the Wren Chapel, my favorite elements of this image are the wonderfully dramatic sky and thewell manicured lawn. You can tell this courtyard gets a lot of upkeep as the landscaper’s tools are still visible. I think that’s a neat and homey touch. Emma would be a beautiful campus to attend, no doubt.

Have you visited Cambridge as well? Perhaps you also were lucky enough to get to see Emma and the Wren Chapel? Or maybe you even attended Emmanuel College? Or you just simply love historic architecture as much as I do? I’d love to know what struck you about this architecture print from Emma?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
