I lived in Montreal from 2011-2014. Moved Fall 2014 to Vermont for a Fellowship at a Cartooning MFA program. Stayed for 4 years and taught. Now I'm back in California.

I'm a cartoonist and printmaker. I make lots of autobiographical work, sometimes it's poetic or vague and other times it's political and specific. http://www.sophieyanow.com
