My extremely out-of-scale map shows the places I loved while living in Victoria. I wish I could have drawn in the amazing way the city smells like forest.

im sad about the dimentions of the piece because there is more to see at the bottom but that was pretty much my fault. see the entire image on my blog (www.laurawoodart.tumblr.com)

This is the community I live in and love. Full of amazing people and beautiful places-the natural landscape rules here and we are so blessed to raise our children in such a magical place. This map is a labor of love for my place, inspired by my 4 year old's gift for "I Spy" and my endless wanting to collage everything I touch-Meigs Co. Ohio is truly a wonderful secret!

NOLA is one of my favourite places to visit, with lots of food and music traditions. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

This a map of my former hometown of Seward, Alaska. It is a beautiful vacation destination! It is located on the Kenai Peninsula about 2.5 hours from Anchorage.

Bienvenue à Montréal! This city is all about joie de vivre (we speak French and English - and another 15 languages at home). See flames dancing on the water at the fountain La Joute, hear tam tams at the feet of the mountain, stroll through the gay village, have a dinner on the Plateau, get a little taste of everything at Jean Talon market, go shopping at the downtown boutiques, experience a tropical forest in Biodome, climb all the way to the illuminated cross on the top of Mont Royal and see the whole city from above - you'll love it!

NOLA

A tiny island connected by a bridge to the island of Sanibel, which in turn is near Ft. Myers, Florida, has been our favorite retreat for many years.

I think I could grow old gracefully in this area!
