Elizabeth Marruffo is a multidisciplinary artist from the small border town of Agua Prieta in Sonora, Mexico. With an interest in folk art, she uses traditional painting techniques and craft processes to create works that have a distinctive and contemporary voice. Her debut graphic novel, Pup Pup Is the Boss of the Stars, uses a cast of handcrafted woolen characters to reimagine and relocate the classic children's story The Wind in the Willows to her Mexican hometown. Marruffo currently lives and works in Perth, Western Australia, where she is the director of the Milktooth Children's School of Art and Stories and the creative director and co-founder of the Perth Comic Arts Festival. She is currently undertaking PhD studies in comics and lives with her husband, son, mother, two xolo dogs, and a fish.
