Watercolor Maps
A custom watercolor map is the perfect way to honor and celebrate a place you love! A custom map captures the unique essence of your chosen location, whether it’s a bustling city, a quaint small town, or a neighborhood from your past. Let’s explore the power of place, as we unlock the stories that lie within the contours of your custom map.

Neighborhood Map
This client hired me to make a map of a part of St. Paul during a very specific time period in her life. A lot of the landmarks she requested no longer exist, but I was able to recreate them from research and photos she provided. She also chose the colors that made sense for her style. It was a great project! Do you have someplace like this, maybe from the past, that you want to capture? Let’s chat!
Fictional Map
I created this map for an author. She wrote a book about a small fictional town in Minnesota, and she wanted a map created of the town and all the significant places in the town. Here is what we came up with! Is there a story you love so much you’d like a map of it? Let’s chat!
Public Art Maps
Maps are a wonderful way to honor a city’s history and heritage. I made these two maps for the city of Detroit Lakes. They were much bigger than this and applied to a sailboat sculpture.
My Twin Cities Map as well as my Northeast Map have also been used as murals appearing in two apartments buildings, one in St. Paul and one in Northeast!
