Libby McFalls is a Professor of Art and the Department of Art's Art Foundation Coordinator at Columbus State University. She obtained her MFA in Printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art (MI) and her BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design (OH). Growing up in East Tennessee, Libby developed a passion for storytelling during her childhood, influenced by her attendance at the National Storytelling Festival. Her interest in oral storytelling grew over time, particularly during the summers she spent with her sisters among extended family members spanning five living generations. Libby creates non-linear visual narratives that explore themes of loss and family. Her work delves into moments that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, life and death, and humor and sorrow, showcasing the contradictions and complexities of life. Libby's artwork has been displayed in various national and international venues, including the Athica Athens Institute, South Bay Contemporary (Los Angeles), SoLA Gallery, Kai Lin Art Gallery, and Gallery 1 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
