Evi Maragkou, aka a Wandering Goat! Her father is from Cyprus but she was born in Athens and is 28 years old. She lives with her cat, Akis (the chief of production) and has a degree in Nursing and a diploma as a Veterinary Assistant.
Her love for art led her to pursue a freelancing career as a cartographer. Her maps are all drawn by hand, and they are from fantasy worlds (books, games etc), historic maps, maps of her own imagination, maps of real places, all drawn with her style and touch.
Since she was a little girl, Evi remembers trying different styles and means of drawing, from pencils to watercolors, but what really captured her heart was maps. The vintage aesthetic, the history, the fantasy element, the ability to create worlds and places with only a pencil and imagination, the depiction of real life places from years ago or from today but with a touch of vintage, are only some of the things that she enjoys when she creates a map. She draws maps because it is a refuge for her soul and mind, and without them, she would feel lost. Drawing maps is her way of expressing her inner world and imagination, and through them she wants to make people experience the world inside the map, help them bring into life the worlds that they have inside them, or simply feel emotions as they look at a piece of their home town.
