Having kids resulted in huge changes to my creative journey. Especially after working with mostly dudes in the gaming industry for years. When my children were little, I unfortunately suffered a neck injury and was unable to draw. While I healed, I poured my creative energy into raising my kids. Eventually I started teaching at a non-profit arts school where I taught cartooning, of course!
I work in a free-flowing and organic nature, at least that’s what I call my ADHD chaos. I will often have the seed of an idea in mind and will just dive right in before knowing which direction the story will take or how it will end. The first part of my process involves the writing and is somewhat similar to sculpting with clay, where I am constantly adding and taking away various elements of the story. The second part involves creating the art. This, of course, is the fun part! I am, however, very fussy about visual presentation and I work slower than I’d like.
Other than dealing with Instagram’s increasingly stingy algorithm, one of the best parts of being a cartoonist on the platform is the supportive comics community. It was through these groups that I got involved with the book, Hold That Thought: 12 Cartoonists on Their Worlds of Humor. The project is the brainchild of editor David Endelman who sought out 12 cartoonists from around the globe to create an anthology of humor. I am honoured to have my work shown alongside this collection of big talents including: Isabella Bannerman, Suzy Becker, David Endelman, Jun Frogosa, David Gomberg, Ed Himelblau, Catherine Holmes, Beverley Kort, Sam Lay, Rose Anne Prevec, and Jim Shoenbill.
