Aimlessly Wandering
I found sketching, or sketching found me, during COVID. Wandering my community after years of traveling, I discovered a changed urban environment, at times unrecognizable but compelling and transitory. Exploring this through sketching called me, and I haven’t stopped since — though I now include far away destinations. My work explores natural phenomena, social justice and disappearance, as components of storytelling.

Daniel Winterbottom is a professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington. His love of urban wandering led to a passion for urban sketching and reportage. Traveling frequently, he has found subjects that reappear from continent to continent while documenting the local nuances. He is fascinated by natural phenomena, reflectivity, light and shadow, and disappearance. In his body of work thematic narratives emerge, often accompanied by personal commentary. He embraces stylistic exploration and refinement. Winterbottom was awarded an Urban Sketchers Reportage Grant in 2021 for his project “The Shifting Landscapes of Despair, Hope, Survival and Persistence.”
