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.

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.

Available as a poster and postcard.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
