Looking For Lu Together!

Explore the world through art and history. The Looking For Lu Postcard Membership is a monthly art subscription from Trailbound Sketches. Your membership directly funds filmmaker and watercolor artist Max Romey’s global quest. He is retracing the footsteps of his late grandmother, Lucretia "Lu" Romey.

Lu left behind a legacy of over 100 field sketchbooks containing 6,000 hidden paintings from her travels across the globe. Today, Max uses those sketches as a map. He tracks down the exact locations where she stood decades ago to paint the same changing landscapes. By joining this exclusive snail mail community, you get an intimate front-row seat to this generational scavenger hunt.
