CREATIVE STATEMENT
As a child my fascination with maps began with my discovery of map monsters which floated in the oceans of my dad’s vintage globe. From there, I remember drawing maps of underground cities, haunted houses, and even golf courses! Today, map illustration my specialty. My maps are used in murals, magazines, jigsaw puzzles, brochures, travel guides, and websites for clients ranging from individuals and small businesses to large corporations and governmental agencies. I still love map monsters!

Machu Picchu on my 30th birthday.
What is your favorite mode of transportation?
A bicycle—not a fancy racing bike, but a super-solid commuter bike or an ultra-comfy beach cruiser.
Which do you prefer: mountains, desert, beach, or forest?
Actually, my favorite landscape is a mountain meadow. Bonus points for an Alpine meadow!
