Hello, hello, how do you do!

Mary Andreolli is a mixed media artist and senior multimedia designer for Tumbuh Global and The School of Global Citizenry. She is also the founder and executive director of the Kranky Thumb Collective, whose mission is to empower humans to rediscover meaning-making in their lives by re-defining their relationships with screened devices and social media.

My recent professional work has been created in partnership with Tumbuh LLC, and The Cloudburst Group for USAID, HUD, National Fair Housing Training Academy (NFHTA), Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA), and the Office of Environment and Energy (OEE) as well as The Association of Theological Schools (ATS), the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church (NCCUMC) and SEMA Films.

As continuously emerging artist, Mary can be frequently be found with her favorite pencils, crayons, paper, scissors and glue creating unique diagrams she calls, “soul schematics.”

Mary’s distinct diagrammatic language is embedded with unique stories that playfully explore new ways of seeing the world particularly humanity’s relationship with nature and technology.

Mary earned a Master of Divinity (M.Div) from Wake Forest University in North Carolina, a Master’s certificate from the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont, and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Motion Media Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Atlanta, Georgia. Her MFA master’s thesis focused on exploring an aesthetic of the spiritual through motion media design using forms and patterns found in nature. Her master's thesis project was designed and developed using Epic's Unreal Engine 4.x.

Mary has traveled to more than 40 countries around the world, and lived abroad in five different countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Greece, and Albania).
