With over 30 years of Cartographic experience, Peta’s passion lies in maps and aerial views of the Earth. This perspective is the one she finds the most inspiring. First, Peta selects locations by studying aerial photographs and searching for exciting but simple shapes. Next, Peta closely inspects the shapes and determines where to enhances the forms in the landscape. She then makes the decision on whether to use shadows or texture, adding an element of three-dimensionality. Furthermore, by researching the area, and visiting the site, Peta takes notes of patterns and colours. By compiling all this information she can then design and paint her interpretation of a contemporary map.
