Meet the Animator

Hi, I’m Maggie Gercken, the creative force behind Mycelia Animation Studios based in Richmond, VA. As a passionate stop-motion animator, I explore themes of reincarnation, death, fungi, and the intricate relationships between humans and nature in my work.

My animations blend meticulous craftsmanship with deep storytelling, inviting viewers to reflect on life’s cycles and our connection to the natural world. Each frame is a labor of love, crafted to evoke thought and emotion while celebrating the beauty and complexity of existence.

Thank you for joining me on this journey through animation. I’m excited to share my stories with you!
