About Me

The best place to be from is the present. 
I grew up flung many times over the Atlantic Ocean so I'm too dizzy to know where I'm from. My home is the space where all the communities that'll have me overlap. I'm a self-taught illustrator and seasoned teacher, which means I'm a risk-taker and I enjoy connecting. I thrive when I'm collaborating and geeking out over research. I am currently working on bringing back to life overlooked several female historical figures who deserve the limelight. 

I used to sketch on my iPad with an app called "Paper by 53" and I loved the fact that it produces digital files, which is why most of the images on this site were drawn on iPad, but these days, I primarily draw on paper with pencil, pen or ink nib 
(like the self-portrait above).

I'm based in Minnesota, USA.
