Seattle Orca

16” x 20” x 1” Gorgeous Killer Whale- hand drawn in white ink over the lines in a 1902 Handy Guide Map and backed with a photograph I took of the Pacific. The map in this piece brings the story to life, the shape of the sound lending itself to the gorgeous detail in this adventurous whale. I love using old maps to showcase history and how we’ve changed / evolved and devolved in some cases, this map features Green Lake, Lake Union and Fort Lawton.

Each map & illustration is backed with an original photograph I took on location. The unframed, dimensional nature of my work showcases the map, illustration and photographs in a single, contemporary design. All maps are based on GIS, Forest Service Maps and historical files.
