Artwork by Abigail Roscoe
Abigail is a queer and disabled Canadian illustrator with a love for wildlife and conservation. They hope the love they show for caribou in their work moves people to learn more about them and care more about the remaining herds. During their bachelor's study, Abigail released a children’s book titled “Yuka’s Way Home” that follows Yuka the caribou as he meets reindeer and Sámi people in his new Arctic home. Abigail is currently working on new books, writing a movie, and exhibiting their solo show this year- all these projects tie into themes the artist cares about, such as conservation, and our relationship to the world around us.
Abigail obtained a Design bachelor degree with a focus on illustration and animation. They hope to use their work to raise awareness about endangered species and what we can do to help.
