My name is Maeg Yosef and I live in a small city nestled at the foot of a mountain in Western Massachusetts, USA. I live with my husband, who I married on that same mountain, our two children, and one very dirty cat named Moe.

I studied art for a year and a summer at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and a villa in La Napoule, France, respectively, before earning a self-designed degree combining business, writing, and teaching. I currently work as a retail artist when I am not busy moonlighting as Edison Rex.

When I was a child, I saw a film about a little boy who met a friend from outer space. For months afterwards, I waited for my own alien friend to crash land in my backyard so that I could nurse him back to health in a special shoebox I was saving for that very occasion. Around the same time, a grown up assured me that if I unscrewed my bellybutton with a screwdriver, my butt would fall off. I think my work captures that childlike yearning and imagination, as well as that oddball humor.

My work can be found online, at various art and craft shows in my area, and at retailers in Massachusetts and Maine. For more information, please visit:
