Ptacek has been recording his favorite Cleveland landmarks with his effortless and approachable realism for decades… at least five so far. Through the years he has drawn, sketched, painted or photographed many iconic buildings, structures and landscapes that every Clevelander will recognize. Jim graduated from Cathedral Latin High School, attended classes at The Cleveland Institute of Art and graduated as an architectural illustrator from Cooper School of Art. His work is varied in terms of subject and media, but the architectural illustrator training comes through most of his work, which also includes colleges in format and other cities as subject.

His work will be on display at the Lissauer Gallery through July 7th 2019
