Collin McFadyen

Collin McFadyen (she/her/they/them) is a former owner/chef of a busy little diner, and the rhythm and patter of daily life influences their work. By focusing on the small moments around them, they’re often lead to explore challenging topics, emotions, and the occasional bursts of humor and joy. They have been published at Subjectiv and ​Tealight Press. Happily, they live in North Portland with their wife, two sons, and a wicked cute terrier. Follow them on twitter @crayonsdontrun
