I believe that the arts are a human birthright and that everyone has the potential to be a great artist with time and nurturing. That is to say, I've always been an artist, maker, creative. The urge to express myself comes as naturally as eating for breathing.

As an autobiographical cartoonist, my honest answer has to be that I love drawing myself!!

I love anything with pink - brown, yellow, purple, blue. I also love pairing yellows, blues, oranges and browns.

I have learned so much working with other artists. Each team up is an opportunity to compare notes and pick up new tricks, tips and techniques. I am grateful to every artist who has successfully completed a project with me, for their patience and vision.

I loved playing drawing games like exquisite corpse as a kid. It taught me how to collaborate with others and work together towards an amazing surprise! As an adult, they help me continue to connect with others and express myself, in a low-stakes silly format.
