From Maria’s website:
While a bird’s eye view is something today we’re treated to via satellite mapping, the technique of creating oblique map art dates back well into the 1600’s – much earlier than satellites or even photography. Today we realize that the technique of old is an excellent way to communicate scale, design elements, orientation and navigation in a single, artistic image.
In today’s media-rich environment, incorporating original illustration and electronic mediums makes for a more dynamic experience.

A successful mixed-media artist, she merges all forms of her craft to create the layers and richness of both technology and hand creations.
