Actress and comedian Mo Collins is probably best known for her slew of celebrity impressions featured in the Fox sketch comedy series Mad TV. She has starred in many other noteworthy roles throughout her career, including Fear the Walking Dead and Parks and Recreation. Did you know that Collins is also an artist?
According to her website, she has been creating, whether painting, drawing, writing, or acting, for as long as she can remember. In 2023, after years of practicing her craft, Collins pushed out the website featuring her paintings, revealing to all that she is, in fact, an artist. She wrote an excellent piece on Substack titled "I AM an Artist, right?" which pulled back the curtain on her journey as an artist that started when she was quite young.

Collins has stated that her 2011 rare cancer diagnosis for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) saw her return to painting as a form of therapy. This allowed her to shut out the world and be at one with the canvas. In July 2023, she reported that she was cancer-free.
During the seventh season of Fear the Walking Dead, Collins would say goodbye to her character, Sarah. Little did fans know that Sarah, Wendell (Daryl Mitchell), and others would be given off-screen deaths after being a significant part of the story for several seasons. The series ended its eight-season run in 2023.
Since her days on Fear TWD, Collins has appeared in many other series. She has done voice work in PAW Patrol, Drone, Puppy Dog Pals, and Spidey and His Amazing Friends. This is no surprise to her fans as she voices many characters in F Is for Family, Pete the Cat, and more. She also appeared in episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Not Dead Yet.
She also appeared in the short Red, White, and Blue, an Oscar-nominated short film that is thought-provoking and emotional. The film also stars Brittany Snow, Juliet Donenfeld, Redding Munsell, Jud Tylor, Ashley A. Williams, Sloan Muldown, Taryn Leggett, Neil Napier, Peter Breitmayer, and Adam Lee. This film is available to rent for $1.99 on the film's website.
