Maybe because I travelled so far in moving from my home country, Taiwan, to the UK, but I absolutely love travelling. I’ve had the fortune to travel to a good few countries and of course there are many countries that I would still love to visit.

Easily my largest personal project is creating illustrated maps of countries I’ve either been to or want to go to. So far, as of early 2023, I have created over 30 maps of different countries and cities from around the world.

These are really time consuming to make as there are so many details but they are a lot of fun to illustrate. Eventually I hope I can visit all of them.

Netherlands

Another country I would absolutely love to visit is the Netherlands (or Holland depending on what you want to call it). I would naturally love to visit Amsterdam but to also check out all the different sceneries and foods. Definitely high up on my bucket list of places to visit.

Available as a poster, postcard and jigsaw puzzle.

Paris

Ah Paris, I know this going to sound like a cliche but easily one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. I travelled to Paris when I was studying to become a chef many years ago and absolutely loved the city.

Poland

Poland is a country that I naturally had to illustrate at some point. Polish is the most spoken foreign language in the UK and Edinburgh, where I lived for 14 years, has an especially large Polish population so naturally my family knew lots of Polish people.

I have yet to travel to Poland but my daughter visited and she really enjoyed it, especially the food.

Portugal

Type up…

Scottish Larder

My home since 2008, I was actually hired to create a couple different maps of Scotland, one was a cultural map, showing things Scotland is famous for while the other was a food map.

Most people who think of Scotland and food think of haggis, neeps, tatties, tablet, Tennants and whisky but Scotland actually has a really exciting food scene.

Scotland Food Map

Very similar but quite different to the Scottish Larder Map I created, this was one of my very first maps, so naturally my style has changed massively since I created this, but I do still love it. This just shows Scotland in a completely different way to Scottish Larder.

Singapore

I travelled to Singapore a couple times when I was much younger and I absolutely loved the sights and foods when I was there. I would definitely love to travel back there again to explore more.

Available to purchase as a poster, postcard and 300-piece jigsaw puzzle.

South Korea

I travelled to South Korea a couple times when I was a child and I really loved it. This illustrated map shows some of my favourite locations and memories as well as places I want to go in the future.

Available as a poster, postcard, 300 piece jigsaw puzzle and 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

Spain

I visited Spain in 2010 and went to Granada and Madrid. Madrid was cool but I absolutely loved Granada.

Spain is a country I’d like to travel around a lot more.

Stranger Things

My favourite TV show right now is Stranger Things. I absolutely love it. It’s creepy, charming, brilliantly acted, everything I like in a show.

So something completely different, I decided to create a map of Hawkins, the town in Stranger Things.

This isn’t meant to be a perfect replica but this is how I view it and this was a lot of fun to create.

Sweden

My second map for 2023 and my 43rd map in total is Sweden. This is a highly requested map and one that I received a lot of help creating. This was really fun to design.

Taiwan

My home country. To date I’ve created three maps of Taiwan, this being the most recent in my current style, as well as a street food map and a fruit map. Taiwan is famous for its food scene, we have some of the most incredible tropical fruits and the night market scene serves up some of the most delicious food you’ll find anywhere in the world.

I sadly don’t have any family remaining, but of Taiwan, I do miss my friends, the scenery, the weather and the food scene.

Taiwan Street Food

My home country. To date I’ve created three maps of Taiwan, this being a street food map, as well as a new whole country map and a fruit map. Taiwan is famous for its food scene, we have some of the most incredible tropical fruits and the night market scene serves up some of the most delicious food you’ll find anywhere in the world.

I sadly don’t have any family remaining, but of Taiwan, I do miss my friends, the scenery, the weather and the food scene.

Taiwan Fruits

Texas

This Texas map was requested by customers and was a lot of fun to create. Definitely one of the top four states I would love to visit in the USA.

Available as a poster, postcard and jigsaw puzzle.

Thailand

Hands down my absolute favourite country in the world that I have travelled to, to date, is Thailand. I love the weather, the food is incredible, the scenery amazing and everyone I have met has been absolutely lovely. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Thailand twice and absolutely loved both visits.

If the opportunity arose I would live there in an instant.

United Kingdom

The UK has been my home since mid 2007, first in Birmingham, then 15 years in Edinburgh and now London.

In this time I’ve got to known many parts of the UK quite well so it was only natural that I had to illustrate a map of my current home.

Available as a poster, postcard and jigsaw puzzle.

USA

One of my very first maps, this USAmap was a lot of fun to create. It took a while to research the USA but I found the country is full of all kinds of fun, weird, unique things and all kinds of cultures, foods, everything.

Available as a poster, postcard and jigsaw puzzle.

When I studied illustration at university a few years ago, for my final honours project I had a real head scratching moment about what to create. A lot of my contemporaries focused on contemporary traditional art but that’s not me. Now I love food, and I love travelling so I eventually decided to create my first illustrated maps, which were of the USA and Taiwan, and from there, over the course of half a decade, I have created over 30 maps of different countries, and some cities, around the world.

As with all of my work, everything is fun to look at, full of detail and a huge amount of work has gone into each map. Some maps, for example Taiwan, Edinburgh and the UK were pretty easy to make. I’m from Taiwan, I lived in Edinburgh for 15 years and my husband was born in the UK and has lived all over the country. Other counties, Cuba, Poland and India were much more difficult to create as I knew nothing about these countries prior to creating them.

Every map requires lots of research, lots of asking friends for information about countries and in many case their countries (I get a lot of requests for maps), but I love seeing the final results. Every map is available to purchase in poster, postcard and jigsaw form.

All of these maps can be purchased through the shop on this website and if you have any requests for countries you would like me to illustrate, please do get in touch.
