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.

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.

 

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.
