My book
About Town SOMA: Portraits of South Orange & Maplewood Small businesses
In October of 2024 I self-published book of illustrations of coffeeshops, cafes, florists, toy stores, art stores, pools, community bands, dive bars, gazebos - everything local to Maplewood & South Orange New Jersey.
These places are the threads that weave the fabric of our towns. Whether you’re a lifetime resident or you just moved here, this book is full of memories.

Maps
I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was to work on this project! The Maplewood Village Alliance reached out to me to create this map for 2024, and I spent two months in the fall propping myself up all over town to draw it. One person bought me a cupcake. One person interviewed me for a school project. A whole lot of people stopped & chatted for a while. One person told me about this 1910 illustrated map of Maplewood that some guy hired a hot ballon for. The version inside the Holiday issue of Matters Magazine labels all 90+ businesses (only a fraction of whom I’ve illustrated so far!) This is a snapshot in time, and I’m honored to have worked on it.
Murals
From small & watercolor to huge and housepaint - I can do it all.
