Maria Sweeney is a Moldovan-born digital illustrator, author, and comic artist known for graphic narratives and zines about disability and healthcare in the United States. [1]
Booklist writes that "Sweeney presents a fuller picture of the disability experience" and "makes visible the invisible, those daily nothings that those not experiencing chronic illness take for granted." [2]
Maria Sweeney was born in Moldova. She was adopted by American parents, and grew up in New Jersey. [3] She graduated from Moore College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. [4] [5]
Maria works as an illustrator. She won a Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo Mini-Grant in 2018. [6] Her 2019 zine, The Straw Ban, was named an outstanding submission by the 2019 Locher Memorial Awards.
Sweeney illustrated The Scooter Twins (2024), a picture book written by Dorothy Ellen Palmer for young readers; Kirkus Reviews noted "Sweeney's warm-hued illustrations" and "comfortingly cozy details" as features of the book, which concerns young siblings getting mobility scooters. [7]
Her debut graphic memoir, Brittle Joints was published by Street Noise Books on June 25 2024. [8]
The book describes her experiences living with Bruck syndrome. [9] A starred review in Publishers Weekly called Brittle Joints "a candid portrait of life with a disability, drawn in delicate brushstrokes" that "shines a critical light on the ableism she’s forced to contend with." [10] A review in Slings and Arrows notes that Sweeney's "illustrations are delicate and emotionally strong, with subtle commentary in the detail counterpointing the narrative captions." [11] Foreword Reviews called Brittle Joints "a powerful book." [12]
