“The Mountains Are Calling and I Must Color Them.” The series features hand-marbled paintings created on vintage topographical maps of the Blue Ridge Mountains. These historic Forest Service maps — layered with floating pigments — transform familiar contour lines into vibrant landscapes that invite viewers to rediscover places they may have hiked or loved for years.

Given the nature of the marbling process, each piece is one-of-a-kind. In the wake of Hurricane Helene and the shifts our region has experienced, these maps have taken on even greater meaning.
