McCuistion 1

Kathleen McCuistion grew up in a tightly-knit rural
community. She has lived most of her life near forests and
farmland, next to a river, not far from a volcano. She has
observed the simple beauty and complex cycles of the
natural world for years.

McCuistion channels this knowledge onto the page with wit
and reverence. Her land creatures have dignity, moving with
purpose through an underbrush of line. Her birds fly into
clouds of vividly colored air. She takes the perspective of
fish, swimming through refracted light. These communities
have antedeluvian origins. Their ancient spirits are revealed
via McCuistion's imagination.
