Hi, I’m Amaris Feland Ketcham.
I am a writer, comics artist, and interdisciplinary educator working at the intersection of place, story, and healing.
My creative research explores how the arts—particularly comics, poetry, and site-based practices—can foster well-being and deepen our understanding of how place makes us human.
