Maps in Art

Shannon rankin is an American artist from California, however, she attended Maine College of Art in the nineties and still resides in Maine to this day. Rankin’s subject matter centers around human anatomy and it’s connection with maps and geographical phenomenon




Matthew Cusick is an American artist who uses small paper fragments of maps in his work. Collage is a common theme in his pieces, which he uses in a very expressionist fashion.  “Their palette is deliberate and symbolic, acting as a cognitive mechanism to help us internalize the external.”




Ingrid Dabringer is an artist who has lived in many different places, making her familiar with maps. By the time she was 13, she had lived in Indonesia, Lebanon, Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, the United States and Austria. Dabringer’s work is centered around visual interpretations in maps and finding whimsical imagery hidden within the landscape. Although she is still active, not much is published on the internet regarding Dabringer’s personal life.
