About Townie Doors

Townie Doors began in 2003 on a quiet country road called Roast Meat Hill in Killingworth, Connecticut. What started as a simple photography project soon became something much bigger. Cindy Erickson created the very first "Doors of" Roast meat hill print and shared it with neighbors, she realized that every door tells a story—of a home, a town, and the people who pass through it.

The following year, she created her first town print, Doors of Killingworth. Armed with a camera, curiosity, and a growing passion for design, she spent countless hours learning graphic design and the software needed to bring her vision to life.

Over the years, her Volvo carried her throughout Connecticut as she searched for colorful, historic, quirky, and unforgettable doors. What began with one town eventually grew into a collection of more than 40 Connecticut town prints, each celebrating the unique character of its community.

In 2020, her journey expanded to Cape Cod. Captivated by the charm and coastal beauty of the Cape, she began creating a new series and ultimately completed it in 2024.

Cindy first visited Nantucket in 2025 and was immediately captivated by the island's charm, history, and character. Everywhere she turned, there seemed to be another beautiful door waiting to be photographed. Creating the Doors of Nantucket print felt effortless—the island seemed to tell its own story through every doorway.

During the academic year, Cindy is in the classroom teaching computer science - sharing her passion for technology and problem-solving with students of all ages.

People often ask her, "What's your favorite door?" the answer is always the same: the Ice Cream Door in Chester, Connecticut. Seeing that door years ago stopped Cindy in her tracks and sparked a realization that has guided Townie Doors ever since: extraordinary beauty can often be found in the most unexpected places.

Every Townie Doors print & note card is a celebration of those discoveries—and an invitation to see the towns we love a little differently.
