The never failing appeal of a map, any map, keeps bringing me back to painting my personal version of a map, it’s something I have done off and on for a number of years. I like the way maps suggest a view of a locale, or even the entire earth with all its continents. One looks at a map and can imagine wandering through the area that is depicted knowing all along that the map is not even close to reality—but still we believe. I hope these pieces of mine evoke that feeling.
