About the Artist |
|
Hi, I'm adoptive Mom, Becky
Thrasher. I've been a professional graphic designer since the early
1980's. Illustration has always been a part of my professional work.
My "Birth Country" map series marries my professional / personal
interests and talents.

| How
Topographical Treasures was born |
Our
Family was united by adoption when our son came home from South Korea
in 2000. Our son gives us such joy and love. Every moment with him
is a celebration of God's plan for us. Topographical Treasures
was born out of this love. The desire to find a way to express this
love using my artistic talents lead me towards the development of
my "Birth Country" map series. The road to adoption is as
varied as our children. It's filled with joys and sorrows. Our goal
is to provide products that express the unique and special experience.
So join us in celebrating the multicultural heritage of international
adoption.
This site is dedicated to my friend Carrie and her family who were
taken away from us too soon. She was instrumental in starting the
idea that became this site. Not only did she give Topographical Treasures
it's name she was proof reader and my sounding board.
Carrie, Emily and Mike will forever be in our hearts and minds.

| How
your painting is created |
Each
original painting takes a topographical interpretation of your or
your child's Birth Country. Each is hand-painted and signed by professional
artist, Becky Thrasher. They are mounted on acid free art paper and
personalized just for you. Every painting is unique, no two paintings
are alike. There is also a version for "birth children",
"domestic adoption" or "children from many countries"
See map order pages for more information.
