About

Ella Scheuerell (she/her) is a cartoonist and storyteller from the Greater Boston area. She has spent the better part of the last two decades mourning the break-up of her sixth grade all-girls band, “The Funky Weasels,” and is working on accepting the fact that she will never be as cool as she was then. She is an introvert who utilizes comics as a means of connecting with others. People enjoy reading about her anxiety and depression in her comics, which have become one of her most valuable tools in her quest to stop the stigma surrounding mental health.

Ella is a graduate student at Boston University’s Masters of Fine Arts program in Visual Narrative, which is just a fancy phrase for comics that she sometimes uses to impress people at dinner parties. 

She serves on the Student Advisory Board at the BU College of Fine Arts and works as the graduate assistant to the Chair, Professor Joel Christian Gill.
