About the Design 

The Hill Country Alliance is proud to announce the release of a limited-edition Hill Country creation, designed by local artist Emma C. Schmidt. Native to the Texas Hill Country, Emma draws inspiration from the natural world around her to create hand drawn designs that tell meaningful stories. With a background in painting from Savannah College of Art & Design, she has grown her art practice through a range of mediums, including intricate inked maps, watercolors, illustration and large-scale painted murals. She uses her artwork to tell stories and chart memories. In recent years, her artwork has taken a nature focus with a range of subjects from bird migration flyways, state aquifers and springs, hiking trail maps and native species illustrations. Emma approaches her work as a cartographer, naturalist and storyteller to create artwork that uplifts a landscape in hand drawn inked lines. Learn more about Emma’ work on her website here. 

For this 20-year anniversary artwork, Emma found inspiration in HCA’s four programs: land, water, night skies and community. With familiar silhouettes of iconic Hill Country indicators in natural landscape and how Texans interact with it, Emma’s artwork shares an encompassing view of one of our state’s treasured geographic regions and a vision to conserve and pay homage to its singularity.
