My name is Maps Glover, and art is my life. When I was a kid growing up in the cornfields of Maryland, the wide-open spaces and natural environment was the perfect storm for a kid with a big imagination. I would build worlds out of cardboard and sticks. I created games with rules for my friends to play and imagine we were anywhere other than where we were. For years I've continued to explore better ways to create those worlds and the games have become systems. My work is a journey through the mind and body the spaces and illustration are a manifestation of an internal dialogue.
