Artist Susan Logoreci creates intricate colored-pencil on paper drawings of cities all over the world, but with an emphasis on her home metropolis, Los Angeles.

Most of the works featured here are very large, with 4' x 6' being a standard size for many of the works. The size translates well to public art-- her works form the basis for mosaics that will appear at Metro's new Expo Line stations in 2016. You can learn more about the artist on her website.
