About the Artist
Angela Oddling is a Pittsburgh-native sequential artist, art educator, and illustrator. Angela’s work weaves monsters and magic into the tales of our everyday lives. Her narratives often explore the not-so-fun and complicated parts of being a person and how they affect our journeys to self-love and acceptance. Angela aims to create a space where her audience can safely explore these feelings, offering them a sense of community and comfort.
