Port Stephens, NSW

Long‑term residents of Port Stephens reached out to me to create a custom map of the place they’ve proudly called home for many years. For them, this wasn’t just a location — it was the landscape that shaped their daily life, their routines, and their connection to the region.

We focused on the features that define the area: the sweeping coastline, the inlets and bays, and the countryside they’ve grown to love. By highlighting the places that hold meaning for them, the map became a reflection of their relationship with the region rather than just a geographic record.

The finished piece is a tribute to their life in Port Stephens — a personalised artwork that captures the character of the area and the deep appreciation they have for the place they call home.
