Episode 91: Elizabeth Person and the Art of Maps

On this episode: maps, artificial intelligence, and lutefisk. We’re talking with Elizabeth Person of Everett, Washington, an illustrator and cartographer who creates beautiful ink and watercolor maps for trails, parks and much-loved outdoor spaces.

We talk about how summer trips to North Dakota in her dad’s small plane led to her fascination with maps and geography, and how she turned her passion into a full-time business.
