Guess who also illustrates stylized watercolor maps! Me! This is the map I revamped for the re-release of the Pearls of Wisdom series by Catherine Ann Russell. I also did interior illustrations for Books 4 and 5. I am looking forward to sharing some of those with you!

Happy birthday to Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) renown Flemish cartographer.

What made Mercator a great #cartographer, was in fact his abilities as a #mathematician -and like those of us scientists who feel compelled also to create art he was wasn’t hindered by his immense ability as an engraver. He produced beautiful world maps (a version of which is depicted in this print), 🧵1/

Oh, look! It's a pixelated NYC map that will have you squinting harder than trying to spot a celebrity in Central Park. 🗽✨ Clearly, what the Big Apple needed was a retro video game makeover—because who doesn't want their city to look like it belongs in an 8-bit museum? 🎮🗺️

TWO of my #handpainted #maps have been #published in this #geography text #book from HardieGrant in Australia. 👍 😍

I wish I’d had such a fun & well designed book when I was at school a million years ago.

Day 7 #SciArtSeptember prompt is boreal, a word I associate with evergreen forests, so I thought I’d share my #linocut of New Brunswick, a province I have visited many times. Its provincial bird, the black-capped chickadee & its tree, the balsam fir cover the hand-carved map of New Brunswick.

The acrobatic, but rather tame chickadee, with its distinctive black cap, has long been one of my favorites. 🧵1/

Day 6 #SciArtSeptember prompt is prairie. I thought I would share a throwback: My print of Manitoba with its provincial animal the bison and flower the prairie crocus (Anemone patens) in this linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, pale violet, umber and brown, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

Vous vous rappelez la carte marine du Groenland ? Le bœuf musqué n’était pas le seul à y figurer ! Il y avait aussi l’incontournable baleine qui saute 🐋🌊 !

Thinking about possible futures for pollinators for #ManufacturedEcosystems I’ve imagined a future where habitat restoration and pollinator gardens are embraced, placed everywhere they can be in an urban environment including residential front and backyards and on green roofs combined with a move to climate friendly energy sources like these rooftop solar panels. This multimedia with linocut map shows many trees, 🧵

Today is also International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day and I for one, appreciate the corvids. They are extraordinarily intelligent birds! Here is my murder of crows, part of my #termsOfVenery series of collective nouns for animals series of prints.

The raven is the official bird of the Yukon, in my print with the official flora, fireweed.

Lastly my crow print, inspired by a photo my husband took.

Si le manchot papou est la star de mes cartes, les baleines à bosse sont les SUPER stars ! 🐋✨
Voici une nouvelle illustration d'une baleine sautant hors de l'eau.
Savais-tu que les baleines sautent, entre autres, pour communiquer entre elles sur de longues distances ? 🌊💬

My final Canadian 🇨🇦 province #linocut is my home #province #Ontario along with its symbols, the common #loon and trillium. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, black, green and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

Ontario is where I was born and where I now call home. Growing up on Lake Ontario I was always aware of our region being defined by the Great Lakes, 🧵1/2
