Hand Drawn Vancouver : Sketches of the City’s Neighbourhoods, Buildings, and People is a warm and whimsical sketchbook/journal by Canada based artist Emma Fitzgerald. Through her lively drawings, the artist showcases many of the British Columbia city’s most iconic and popular locales like downtown Vancouver, Coal Harbour, Gastown, Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano and more. Accompanying her sketches are thoughtful observations and snippets of overheard conversations that bring lively context to her art work.

Having personally lived and worked in Vancouver ( Mount Pleasant ) for the better part of the last 5 years since I moved from my hometown of Singapore in the spring of 2015, this book is particularly endearing and resonating as I drink in the all the familiar sights of the beautiful city, and I can certainly attest to her charm.

(above & below) The Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver, where I’ve called home for the last 5 years. It’s really a charming neighborhood with quaint little shops, cafes and restaurants and I absolutely love living here.

Hand Drawn Vancouver is truly a love letter to this beautiful and iconic city; both visitors and locals alike will surely take delight in discovering the city through the wonderful drawings of Emma Fitzgerald. Recommended.
