Orcas Island offers mountains, beaches, waterfalls, pristine forests, and lakes--just so much to explore on this island! This print is part of my new "Island of Places" series, laid out like a map in white on navy blue. It's an original design that's ready to frame, and the artwork is professionally printed on archival heavyweight paper.

This piece is the result of countless hours of research and detail-oriented design work. I combed through a number of current and historical maps and reflected on many of my own visits to the island while working on this project. Being fortunate enough to call Fidalgo Island (known as the "Gateway to the San Juans") home for now over a decade, I've had the opportunity to visit Orcas Island myself numerous times over the years. My family and I have enjoyed hiking, camping, biking, beach combing, paddling, and exploring on and around this island.
To create this artwork, I used maps to pencil out the coast line of the island, and then I marked out the primary features (lakes, topography, etc.). I scanned and imported that drawing into my digital sketchpad and used it as the base layer above which I began digitally sketching, arranging, and coloring the lettering for each element. Referencing various maps and my own notes and experiences, I tried to include as many natural features, parks, neighborhoods, and landmarks as I could into the final design. Once I was happy with the overall design, I removed that base layer sketch to reveal the clean lettering-only design.
As with all my work, this art print is completely unique and original, dreamed up and designed entirely by me. You won't find an Orcas Island design like this from anyone else!
