"It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Graye Muir-Lewis: artist, activist, employee and alumna of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Graye originated in Omaha, a mutant born of radioactive times, and developed a love of horror and science fiction early in life. These passions of exploration and extreme possibility found their expression in their artistic endeavors and they completed a bachelor's degree at UNL in Graphic Design.

Graye has since worked as a professional artist, publishing numerous works and comics, the most recent being 'Beauty Queens,' concerning the travails of a trans punk band. At UNL, Graye worked as a graphic designer for Department of Food Science, where they also took a role within the Chancellor's Commission on the Status of Gender and Sexual Identities to further the cause of social justice throughout the University of Nebraska system.

Throughout their life, through horror and wonder, Graye sought to depict the struggle for and possibility of a better and more inclusive world. They and their wonderful, weird radiation will be sorely missed."
