Laura Ten Eyck Biography

Laura Ten Eyck, a Toronto native, discovered her love for maps on a solo trek in Nepal when the wind whisked away her only guide. This moment ignited a passion that led her to an MFA in Visual Arts from NYU and a transformative apprenticeship at Manhattan's legendary Argosy Book Store. Now the gallery director at Argosy, Laura has become a celebrated map dealer and appraiser, appearing on The Antiques Roadshow and CBS Sunday Morning. With deep roots in New York City—she lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where her love for maps and history continues to shape her extraordinary journey.
