ETSU Colors | Johnson City, TN map | East Tennessee watercolor painting | Graduation gift

You want a piece of art that means something to you, but you also want it to be sophisticated. You love your alma mater, but you want to showcase it in a subtle way. You have connections to Johnson City, TN and East Tennessee State University, and think fondly of your time there. This painting is for you. The soft blues and yellow accents in this abstract map are a nod to the ETSU Buccaneer's colors and depict Johnson City. Hang it on its own or as part of a gallery wall. It also looks great sitting on a shelf.

I made this map collection because, well — I love maps! Since childhood, I’ve been enamored with them. I wanted a to create a piece of art that felt abstract but was connected to a place, a piece of art that could fit into any decor style (though these brightly colored ones do lean a bit more maximalist). Thus my journey into these maps began. Each city has its own web of roads and rivers. Each a beautiful representation of the paths we take in our comings and goings.

In which cities do you belong? Which ones hold a piece of your story and your heart? Let these prints help you tell your story.

Every intersection and bit of land and water on this map is painted by hand using watercolor paint on cold press watercolor paper. Then, it is scanned using a high resolution scanner and digitally formatted for printing. This print you will receive is reproduced from an original watercolor painting: Johnson City, Tri-Cities, TN, 2019.
