Cords-Swanson earned a master's degree in geography from Mankato State University. The geography department offered cartography courses which she took to gain map-making skills. She was a cartographic consultant for many years and was a geography teacher at the university for 16 years. "Over the years, I have worked in several art mediums, including pen and ink, reprographics, printmaking, reactive metals, wood and fibers," Cords-Swanson said. "Now I am pairing my academic background as a cartogapher with my skills as a fiber artist. The result is a series of quilted maps which I refer to as the Cartographer's Art." .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._ ANGIE COPE American Geographical Society Library UW Milwaukee 2311 E.
