About the Artist – Jari Thymian
Jari Thymian is a comic artist, writer, poet, and avid nature journaler. She grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm near the South Dakota border and attended a country school for six years. Jari and her husband Greg lived and traveled in a 5th wheel RV for 10 years while they volunteered in 13 different national parks, national forests, etc. in the western US. (In NM, their favorites were Gila Cliff Dwellings and Mora National Fish Hatchery.) They had visited and enjoyed Raton many times in their RV before deciding to settle here where there are friendly people, interesting history, entrepreneurial spirit, great hiking trails, and the mountains.
Jari got hooked on comics briefly in the 1960s then again a few years ago while reading a science comic book called Two Heads: A Graphic Exploration of How Our Brains Work with Other Brains by Frith, Frith, et al. A couple months later, she jumped into the comics community and took a year-long intensive course. Now everything, even her poetry, comes out in comic form.
