Elkpen is a Los Angeles-based artist who uses the graphic novel and muralist traditions to tell stories about neighborhoods, species, natural histories, climate warming, a path forward. As she says “I work at any size, location or thing that offers itself, sometimes it’s a retail or corporate setting, sometimes it’s a park bench, matchbook or postcard. I am looking at public space in whatever form it takes to use art to tell stories about place. My comics, drawings, signs, and murals have been shown and installed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Canada and Mexico, and on the world wide web.”
