“Bike Fayetteville”

11″ x 14″ or 16″ x 20″ high-quality digital prints

The “Bike Fayetteville” stylized map shows Fayetteville’s bike-friendly trails, side paths, and streets. This and all of Sarah’s stylized maps can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/ArkansasMaps

In creating the ‘Bike Fayetteville’ map, I took the city’s complex maze of bike-friendly streets, paths, and bike trails, snapped their names to a grid, and filled the negative spaces with colorful geometric shapes. The result is a vibrant, simplified flow of the bike paths around Fayetteville. The purpose of this and all of my stylized maps is to orient those new to the city, encourage the use of cycling and pedestrian paths, and to further a sense of community identity among residents. This map project has been my favorite so far as it gave me the opportunity to illustrate the bike trails I’ve so enjoyed exploring these past several years.

Bio

Sarah’s interest in city maps stems from her experiences while teaching World Languages, traveling, and working abroad. City maps were an essential part of her life. What began in early 2020 as a “pandemic project” of creating a stylized map of her hometown Fayetteville has resulted in several artistic maps of Fayetteville and 4 other cities in Arkansas so far. She enjoys the research and tours required for each Arkansas city map project and sees no end in sight for her new artistic endeavor. 

 “In creating a map, I take the city’s complex maze of streets, parks, venues, and bike trails and snap their names to a grid. I then fill the negative spaces with colorful geometric shapes. The result is a vibrant, simplified flow of paths around the city. The purpose of this and all of my stylized maps is to orient those new to the city, encourage the use of cycling and pedestrian paths, and to further a sense of community identity among residents. It’s an illustration of how the streets of my hometown appear in my mind when I’m deciding how to get from here to there.”

In addition to stylized maps, she enjoys making pottery at the Community Creative Center in Fayetteville. Sarah lives in West Fork, Arkansas.
