Creating art, despite some challenges, can be really enjoyable. For Mary, the most rewarding part of the creative process is seeing her work affect other people and help them make positive changes in their own lives. “The process of making art is wonderful, of course, but seeing your art actually make a difference and make people feel seen and understood is a feeling like no other. I am very grateful that I get to share my work with so many people.”

Many moms who read Mary’s comics find them relatable because they’re going through similar things. We were curious to know how the artist feels about the special community and support that has grown around her work. “It is so rewarding and makes all of the challenging aspects of sharing my work feel completely worth it,” Mary told us. “The women (and some men!) who follow my account are incredible—they’re understanding, strong, open-minded, supportive, and fighting for change for future generations of women, girls, and mothers. They have a great sense of humor and aren’t afraid to share their stories and experiences. The internet and social media can be a pretty ugly place—and I’ve definitely seen that side of it since starting this account—but my community is a really positive one despite talking about tough subjects.”
