about

Wayan ("why-AHN") Buschman was born in the depths of the Hudson River. Against all odds, she grew limbs and wriggled onto the murky shores of Manhattan. After a few years of slithering about, she grew fingers dexterous enough to draw shapes in the earth. From these forms, the pungent smell of dirt and trash rose up and enchanted her.

​​

As she grew older, she began to draw on paper instead of dirt (more socially acceptable). Though she continued drawing during her college years, she decided to major in English literature. She graduated in 2020, and, from there, worked as an arts and humanities educator at a boarding school in Napa, CA. Now, she continues her work as a freelance counselor and motion/graphic designer. In recent years, she has had a comic published in an anthology by Penguin Random House, has helped to design a line of school merchandise, and has had her animation shown alongside a film pitch at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.
