Overview
You do not need to be an artist to join this tour! 🙂 You only need to have wide eyes and an open heart.
This tour is for people who love to wander, to people-watch, slow down, and notice the city. Together, we’ll make time for looking deeply instead of moving quickly, allowing space for serendipity within New York’s fast-paced, bustling rhythm.
We’ll begin with a few quick sketches to loosen the hand and ground ourselves in the neighborhood, paired with short stories about the streets and spaces we’re moving through. From there, we’ll travel in gentle 30-minute intervals to a series of pre-selected spots around Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Along the way, you’ll discover my favorite corners of the area alongside a small group of curious, creative people. You’ll hear stories, share observations, and experience the city. Whether you’re visiting New York for the first time or seeing it anew, this walk is designed to slow you down and help you begin your time in the city with intention.
