My love of comics started with family collections of Calvin and Hobbes and Garfield, and it was grown by spending hours in the St. Louis County Library reading any manga I could get my hands on. Sailor Moon, Fantasia, and Legend of Zelda really pulled me into art, creating a language of sparkles, nature, swords, and warm tones. I enjoy all graphic books, drifting from middle grade graphic novels to memoirs, slice of life, nonfiction, sci-fi, and fantasy.

Some of my favorite comic artists include Tillie Walden, Lynda Barry, Moebius, N.D. Stevenson, and Molly Ostertag.
