Amy Ruppel's photo documentary of travels abroad

Portland favorite Amy Ruppel is best known for her paintings of birds and other cute woodland creatures.  In the past couple of years, you may have seen her designs on Target holiday commercials and Converse shoes.  Although most of Amy's art work is concentrated on painting, illustration, and computer graphics, Amy's creative mind and skills spill into other areas of art, such as photography.

When I was browsing Amy's site recently, I came across her collection of travel photographs.   There are many beautiful photos of historical architecture and cultural centers to look at, but my favorite images of Amy's are those of a more mundane subject, like a public bathroom wall,  the interior of a commuter train, or laundry hanging from a line outside of a hotel.

 I look forward to seeing more of Amy's travel pictures.  Up next- Alaska!
