Chapel Bridge Canvas Print

Chapel Bridge is a photograph of a marvelous wooden covered bridge in Lucerne, Switzerland. It is considered Lucerne’s most famous landmark. This city in Switzerland straddles the river Reuss where it drains into Lake Lucerne and has several bridges. The original wooden Chapel Bridge was built in 1333 and is 669 feet long. It is still considered the oldest covered bridge in Europe, even though most of it had to be replaced in 1993 due to fire. There is a tower midway across the bridge that is octagonal in shape and was part of the original fortification of the city. 17th century paintings of Lucerne’s history are all along the inside of the bridge.

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and purpose. My mother painted when i was young and encouraged drawing and painting and handcrafting in all forms and my father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result, i have been a lifelong student of both mediums. Formal training of my eye and technique has been with the wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson. i hope you will enjoy these images as much as i enjoyed their creation.
