Illustrator + Writer: I make picture books, graphic novels, and comics to tell stories. I also write essays and teach courses to help other creatives tell their own stories, and encourage everyone to make more art.
About this FieldTrip
Many people believe they can’t draw, but what they really mean is they can’t draw the way they think they’re SUPPOSED to. I was stuck in that mindset too, but over the years, I learned to let go of the rules, comparison, and expectations to draw more freely, have more fun, and find my own unique artistic style. I would love to run a FieldTrip to help others ditch the rules, let loose, and find their own way of drawing!
About your Host I am a full-time illustrator currently working with Scholastic on a 4-book series of middle grade graphic novels. I write weekly essays on artmaking, creativity, and living as an artist to my email list of over 11,000. I also run an online artist community and teach online art classes, with over 70,000 students on Skillshare and my own learning platform/community.

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
Not vibing?
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
