You're not just someone who loves the ocean. You're a waterperson.
You know that feeling when you're checking the weather forecast at 2 AM, not because you have to be somewhere, but because you can’t sleep and the window looks perfect? That's waterperson insomnia, and it's incurable.
You've tried explaining to landlocked friends why you need to check the tide before making dinner plans. They don't get it. But you know that low tide and high tide are for different things: launching your kayak or exploring tidepools; hollow punchy waves or soft and cruisey. The timing always matters.
You get it. The ocean isn't just where you play, it's who you are.
That's why I make ocean-focused wall art maps for waterpeople who build their lives around the sea.
These maps aren't just pretty pictures, they're precise, intentional, and deeply personal.
They understand what matters: the anchorage that saved you, the reef that gave you your best wave ever, the passage that tested everything you had.
They're made for storytelling, dreaming, and planning. For pointing to a place and saying, "That's where it happened."
Each map is built from the best available data and refined from a perspective that balances art with lived ocean experience. Crafted to feel textured, lived-in, real - because your relationship with these waters is all of those things.
I live aboard my sailboat, Whisky Jack II, with my husband Tristan, traveling the BC coast doing marine science and mapping work. Every mile we sail, every anchorage we try, every weather window we wait for - it's all research for these maps.
You know that moment when you round a point and the water suddenly changes color? The deep blue tells you everything - you're in big water now, and this is where you belong. I know that feeling too.
These maps come from those experiences. You measure distance in hours, not just miles. You know the difference between wind waves and swell. You've felt that moment when the anchor finally sets after three tries, and suddenly you're home.
These maps are made by someone who gets all of that - someone who's been where you've been and dreams of going where you're going.
