Sara Baldwin’s Gilt by Association

“Mike Welton is a natural writer. The craft of his language is equal to the craft of the buildings and artifacts he writes about. He is the Vasari of the contemporary scene.

Mike discovers in each window, each bench and each type of building a unique expression of architecture.” — Frank Harmon, FAIA, Principal, Frank Harmon Architect, Author: “Native Places: Drawing as a Way to See,” Raleigh, N.C.
