Welcome! I’m M (they/she), an Appalachian-born artist, storyteller, and art therapist.
Since earning a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2007 from the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), my work has concentrated on pseudo-autobiographical narrative art. Working primarily in gouache and ink on paper, my full-color comics draw inspiration from folk art characteristics: intricate decoration, flat perspective, and a naïve figurative style.
My in-progress wordless graphic novel, Wolf Girl illustrates my inner world–a woodland that resembles my family’s home in rural West Virginia. My story’s protagonist, strong-willed but vulnerable “Girl,” is an author-surrogate, locked in endless conflict with characters that represent prominent figures from my childhood, defended by my inner protector “Wolf.” Through scenes enacted by these characters, I visualize my stress responses (flight - fight - freeze - fawn), process complex emotions, and resolve conflicts related to cultural roles, spirituality, and gender identity.
