As a self-taught digital artist, I use a 7th generation iPad, a 1st generation Apple Pencil, and Procreate as sustainable tools of expression.
All graphic recordings are created as documentation of my learning, exploring illustration as a visual guidance for community dialogue. These recordings help me process, reflect, and reemphasize my values.
I am inspired by Radical Roadmaps, the ways my students interpret images, my literary circles, and the belief that all learning opportunities should be accessible.
