Artist Biography
Mirth & Mire was created in April 2025 and ran monthly for its first year, producing 12 issues in its first volume.
The magazine was founded by Myra Phillips as a way to organize and generate publication-worthy work while highlighting a shared love of nature and science. Since then, the magazine has welcomed new contributors, from longtime friends to fresh collaborative connections.
Currently, Mirth & Mire is in its second volume and follows a six-week publication schedule.
