Forest Hall, Visual Artist

Forest Hall, Narrative Illustrator

Forest Hall

Human Who Does Stuff is Forest Hall, a queer, plural, and neurodivergent narrative artist. Forest graduated with distinguished honors earning a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Forest hopes their work will help people see themselves in stories by exploring the contrast of pain and joy inherent to being different, they create narrative art bursting with cuteness, queerness, monsters, color, and lots of mushy emotions.
