Writing plays a significant role in my process and is how I prefer to start a project: whether it be a carefully crafted and drafted story, or a stream of consciousness. Much of my year has been spent on a reflective essay about alcohol abuse, sandwiched by two illustrated timelines- visual representations of my life before and after sobriety.

I enjoy working with sequential narrative and the problem solving that accompanies it. Spending time figuring out how to get a character from one scenario to the next, and determining whether an image is necessary to progress the story, is one of the most exciting parts of visual storytelling. Acrylic paint is my primary medium, though I enjoy exploring other analogue techniques and using digital technologies to enhance my work.
