SELECTED PROJECTS
|
THE WASSATAQUOIK & KATAHDIN This shaded relief map, displayed at the 2024 NACIS annual meeting, uses a topographic wetness index (TWI) to reveal where water may accumulate and paints a unique geomorphological picture of the Katahdin granite complex. The driest areas are the steepest and highest topographies and align with the glacially carved arêtes; the cirques and valleys are where moisture accumulates. The basin where the Wassataquoik Stream begins is a unique palustrine wetland. 32" x 24". 2024. |
|
SALT RIVER: FROM SUMMIT TO SEAFLOOR Presented at the International Cartographic Association, 12th Mountain Cartography Workshop, Salt River: From Summit to Seafloor explores workflows that connect disparate deepwater, topobathy, terrestrial and wetland datasets to create a cohesive shaded relief map of St. Croix’s Salt River. 24” x 34”. 2023. |
|
GREAT MARSH Leveraging USGS’s high-resolution elevation data to depict Massachusetts’ Great Marsh reveals the historic and destructive ditching of the expansive salt marsh. The barrier beach/dune complex of Plum Island and the high-energy estuary’s deposition patterns provide context. 24” x 28”. 2022. > 50th annual CaGIS Map Design Competition, Reference Map Category, Honorable Mention. |
|
SURFING SACO BAY Created from an abiding interest in describing the coastal environment and a love for surfing, Surfing Saco Bay dives into the dynamic connection between waves and bathymetry. 24” x 28”. 2019. > Avenza Map Competition Second-Place Winner > Published in Atlas of Design, Volume 5 |
KATAHDIN SHADOWS IN THREE TIME. Displayed in the NACIS 2020 Annual Meeting virtual Map Gallery, this map explores a nuanced view of cast shadows. 30” x 16”. 2020.
|
GEORGES RIVER REGION, TRAILS & PRESERVES The centerfold in a Community Geographics brochure detailing the trails and adventures in the Georges River watershed and coastal area for the Georges River Land Trust. 18" x 36". 2019. |
|
GULF OF MAINE, CLIMATE CHANGE Supporting the science that the Maine Sea Grant team coalesced into a dynamic and informative climate change report was the key here. The map was designed to evolve as the report developed, permitting additional text and graphics. See the final Maine's Climate Future 2020 Update HERE. Submitted map. 7” x 7”. 2019. |
|
NACIS MAP QUILT ENTRY
Participating in the annual NACIS conferences is a highlight of every year and when I had the opportunity to contribute to the NACIS Map Quilt 2019, I jumped on it. Twelve quilt sections were digitally sewn together to form a fun and thought-provoking map of Tacoma, Washington, the current-year’s conference location. 13” x 13”. 2019. |
|
THE FLORIDA KEYS Created for an Island Journal article, “Whelmed in Key Largo, Florida Keys are vulnerable and much is at stake”, by Steven Harris, this hand-drawn map describes the vulnerability of the long and low-lying geography of the Keys. Island Journal, volume 35. 2019. |
|
APIA, SAMOA - MARCH 1889 Created to support Walter Price’s upcoming book about the 1889 Apia Cyclone that decimated both American and British naval ships moored in Apia Harbor. 4.5" x 6.75". 2019. |
|
AMERICAN EEL A fun and fast map for Guerilla Cartography’s Atlas in a Day: Migration project. The theme was announced at 9:00pm PST and the final map delivered at 7:30pm PST, 24 hours to research, design and print. See Guerrilla Cartography’s website HERE for the final atlas. 2019 |
|
COASTAL WATER - CARTOGRAPHIC STUDY SKETCHES Representing coastal waters is an abiding passion and I compiled these thumbnail studies to capture the variety of techniques used throughout history. Surface waters and bathymetric styles are detailed in pen and colored pencil. 8” x 22”. 2018. |
APPALACHIAN TRAIL - MONSON, MAINE
Created for the Monson Appalachian Trail Visitor Center with Community Geographics as part of a day-hike focused brochure. The final brochure includes a cover on the left panel. 2018.

HURRICANE SANDY, OCTOBER 21-29 and HURRICANE SANDY WITH THE BOUNTY
On October 27, 2012, Hurricane Sandy was downgraded to a tropical storm and forecast to weaken. With that information, the Bounty changed course heading closer to shore. It was a fatal decision. The map on the left details the path of the storm, and the map on the right adds the Bounty's course. 2014. Superstorm |

HURRICANE SANDY, APPROACHING THE COLD FRONT To highlight the impending confrontation between Hurricane Sandy and the cold front, I layered GOES 13 satellite imagery over simple physical geography. The surface-pressure lines give it critical context. 2014. Superstorm |

JEANIE JOHNSTON, TRALEE The look of 18th-century charts and the imagery of Kathryn Mile's book All Standing became the style guide for this project. 2013. All Standing |
