Artist Statement

Unless stated, all of my written and visual works have been authored/created by me.

Some creative tools I use:

  • A pen & written utensils (pencils, pens, crayons, paints, etc.)
  • Procreate drawing app for iPad
    • Digital writing utensils
    • Other photo-editing & gif-making tools
  • Professional cameras and/or phone cameras
  • Canva
    • I use Canva especially to make free, colored QR codes
  • Digital editing apps, such as VSCO
    • I use these for touch-ups and other visual effects
  • Any word processor with/without Internet connection
    • Google Suite
    • Microsoft Suite
    • Pages
  • An inexpensive Google Chromebook for writing-only

Under zero circumstances or projects, I do not use any A.I. tools or assistance.

I believe the creative process — from brainstorming to publication — is an intrinsically human-centered collaboration; I prefer to work with a person’s developing ideas, no matter how unfinished or flawed they may be, rather than the derivative product of an A.I. bot.
