Contemplative art & writing by Patricia Myerson

Patricia Myerson lives, hikes, and draws in New England, where she shares her home with a quirky rescue cat. She has made visual art since childhood and has a BFA in painting. She has been a Buddhist practitioner all her adult life and began drawing comics during the first year of the pandemic to express how the practice of mindfulness brought her back to sanity in a terrifying time. Comic art seemed to her then, and now, to be a reasonable response to an unreasonable world. She loves the creative power of joining words and images, and finds the language of comic art to be almost limitless in its expressive potential. Her comics are mostly true, sometimes funny, stories of anxiety, awareness, and healing.
