About

What's in a name, Compass Rose Studio?

A compass rose has been illustrated on maps, oceanic charts, and historic atlases since as early as 1200AD to display direction (N, NE, S, SE, W, etc...).

Amy's passion for art, the sea, and vintage maps led to her inspiration for Compass Rose Studio. The word compass is based on the Latin word 'com' (together) and 'passus' (a step or pace).  The 'rose' is derived from the elaborate and ornate petal designs illustrated on early compasses. Together, Compass and Rose is quite beautiful.

About Amy Mac

Hi, I'm Amy, owner of Compass Rose Studio. My love of art and adoration of travel is the inspiration behind Compass Rose Studio. I hope the maps and illustrations I create help connect you to the special places you've been and fuel dreams of places you've yet to visit.

I started drawing when I was old enough to hold a pencil and simply never stopped. As an innate animal lover, my early years were dedicated to bringing animals to life on paper. When I wasn’t drawing bunnies and chipmunks, I focused on gorgeous landscapes; likely, the product of growing up with a forest for a backyard and a creek where a swimming pool would traditionally go. I drew anything and everything around me.  To this day I stick to my roots. Before touching a keyboard and mouse, I start with my sketchbook and pencil.

Thank you for visiting Compass Rose Studio!

-Amy Mac
