I recently came across an introduction to the book Personal Geographies by Jill K. Berry and am intrigued with the idea of making map art. I love maps – have always been drawn to their graphics – and look forward to exploring the concept of using them in an artistic way.
Too bad Ms. Berry doesn’t seem to be teaching any classes in my neck of the woods. But do check out her blog to be inspired as I have – and maybe even win some maps of your own.
Here’s hoping the bookstore downtown really has a copy of Personal Geographies as their inventory suggests, because I’m too impatient to order it online.
maps as art

WOW Keitha, I have never thought about using maps in such an artistic way. I’ve added this to my wish list on my book swap group (there are six people ahead of me!) – hope you were able to find one at your local store. Thanks for sharing!
