Kathleen Carrillo’s travels have taken her to Magical Places across the globe and have Inspired The Architectural Whimsy Collection. It began during her travels in Europe in a small mediaeval village in the south of France.

“As I walked down the stairs and glanced ahead of me, I was fascinated by the buildings which had settled into one another showing the time and history that had past. I photographed them over and over and went home and painted what I saw. The more small beautiful towns I visited, the more I became attached to an idea of the feelings I would get from these places, and wanted to paint. The whimsical quality is much more about the joy, the magic, the music, the people that set my mind into a fantasy that became the “Architectural Whimsy Collection”!

As I developed this series it came to my attention that everyone has that special attachment to their memories of these magical places. These inspirational experiences have blossomed into multiple images of beloved US locations as well as European and Latin American.

“I have been doing this collection for over twelve years now and it just gets more and more popular. It creates a reason for me to travel and fullfill my wanderlust!

Many of the Architectural Whimsy images are available as hand embellished, limited edition Giclee Prints on canvas, as well as some open edition prints and products.
