Emily Garfield like to say that she grows cities. With pen, ink, and watercolor, the Boston-based artist creates maps of imaginary places that tap into the essence of urban form.

“They evolve as I draw,” she says of her free-form cartographs. “I think that’s related to the way cities grow in real life.”

A lot of people have maps hanging on their walls. But normally, they’re actual maps of the world. Boston-based artist Emily Garfield has other things on her mind, though, as she creates her miniature maps reminiscent of ancient towns, strange islands and barren countryside.

“They aren’t based on actual places,” she explains. “And I don’t visualise an actual or even an imagined place when I create them.”
