MFA-IVC faculty include leading illustrators, writers, and scholars. They create picture books, zines, graphic nonfiction, and comics. They research and write on diverse topics, like spatial justice, feminism, politics, illustration + design theory, and material culture.

They love teaching. (And they’re really good at it, too.)
