Tahoe Aspens- California & Nevada
30” x 20” x 2
White aspen tree sihouettes, hand-drawn over an early 1900’s Lake Tahoe map and backed with a photograph I took of some aspen trees.
One of my favorite things to do is find historical maps and highlight the details from long ago.
A component of the work I do is editing the maps so the colors all work together with the white ink and the photograph in the background. On this particular map I boosted the blues to make it really stand out against the green photography in the background and it worked out really well!

About my work:
Maps are designed on clear plexiglass - I trace the map lines within the silhouette in white ink, creating original patterns from the topography or city block lines. 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.
