At MAPS and ART, you will discover a curated collection of antique maps, vintage prints, and original art on paper, sourced worldwide by husband-and-wife team George Ferrari-Gonzalez and Katia Baizan. Founded in 2001, this Houston, Texas-based art gallery features thousands of unique pieces that are ready to frame and perfect for clients to use in their home or office –  to decorate a whole room or even an entire venue or business.

Of Spanish descent, Katia obtained a Master’s Degree in Art History from the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to that, she lived in Paris for three years where she studied French and Political Science at the Sorbonne and Sciences Po-Paris. An M.I.T. graduate born in Uruguay, George is a Professional Engineer by training, having spent 20 years in the oil and gas industry working as a geotechnical engineering consultant. Uniting George and Katia’s distinct backgrounds is a shared passion for art, foreign culture, and international travel, which fuels their work curating distinctive art selections for their customers at MAPS and ART today.

You can shop with us here online, at the Blue Hills Show in Round Top, or in our Houston showroom. Other MAPS and ART pieces are available for purchase on 1stDibs, One Kings Lane and Chairish.

At MAPS and ART, we are committed to bringing you the finest, one-of-a-kind art for your space by personally selecting our pieces during regular trips to Europe and across the U.S. Enjoy exploring our collection and please feel free to contact us with any questions or requests.
