Check out Modern Map Art, founded in 2016 by Jennifer Beck, who returned from traveling the world with a new appreciation for cities. She combined her passion for maps with what she learned about cultures to create beautiful map art that tells stories. “When you look from above, the lines look like an organized chaos over the city which tells its own story,” she says.
