AB. ROSCOE

Founder, Coyote Studio | Mexican-Canadian Multidisciplinary Artist | Writer | Education & Advocacy

Abigail Roscoe is a Mexican Canadian illustrator, writer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, BC. She is proudly queer, autistic, disabled, and a visually impaired advocate whose creative practice reflect an intersectional approach to art. Her work is also shaped by her experience of becoming physically disabled in 2021 and losing vision in her left eye to glaucoma in 2025. 

Abigail’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and creative persistence. In 2017, she moved to the Netherlands to study illustration and animation, earning her bachelor’s degree in design while also delving into photography and creative writing. Her passion for art, animals, and mythology has always guided her work- if she hadn’t become an illustrator, she would have studied biology or folklore. Instead, she found a way to merge these passions into a unique visual language. Despite major changes to her health and life path, Abigail continues to do what she loves now more than ever. 

She has worked with the Caribou Conservation Alliance (formerly CCBF) on educational materials since the organisation’s early days, while also illustrating and editing children’s books. Her debut children’s book, Yuka’s Way Home, was developed in collaboration with a Sami Indigenous reindeer herder in Northern Norway to ensure respectful and accurate storytelling.  After becoming physically disabled, Abigail adapted her creative process, further strengthening her commitment to inclusive storytelling and ecological education. 

Now rooted in Vancouver after a move here following nearly a decade in Europe, Abigail is working with institutions like CNIB, and teaching accessible art lessons at the Vancouver Aquarium, where she recently led a workshop for World Caribou Day to help children learn about the species’ vital role in British Columbia’s ecosystems. 

Last month, she started her business, Coyote Studio, in Vancouver, and is writing a movie: The Sixth Sun. The Sixth Sun is a story that blends ancient Aztec mythology with urgent questions about the climate crisis, purpose, and resilience. It follows a struggling musician visited by Huehuecóyotl, the Aztec trickster god, who reveals the exact timeline of the apocalypse. But instead of grieving the end, the musician chooses to create meaning with the time that remains, and that act of defiant hope begins to ripple outward. Without realising it, his small acts of resistance and care set off a chain reaction that changes the fate of humanity itself.

Abigail is writing the film and creating all the concept art herself. It will be pitched to Canadian and Mexican studios in 2025 and is positioned as a poetic, topical and culturally rooted response to climate defeatism.
