Are you as in love with the New River Gorge as we are?

This original art print features a watercolor and ink illustrated map that Rosalie created during her artist residency at New River Gorge National River in Spring 2019. She spent a month soaking up the scenery, trails, and climbing areas and fell in love with the park. This map project was so much fun because it encouraged her to get to know the ins and outs of the region and talk to locals about what they love about the Gorge.

Printed at her local print shop in West Virginia on 100# textured white felt paper (for the look & feel of watercolor paper!). This piece is unframed and measures 11" W x 14" H.
