Oof. Time passes so fast. I was pursuing a PhD in drawing, communication, and information; but I paused that while I think over whether it's something I really want to do. In the meantime, I'm working, mothering, and drawing full-time. I sometimes post drawings on Instagram @owla__oolar. It's private, but I'll let most people in.

Excited to announce that my graphic essay, Not Unreasonable, was published in Graphic Medicine, part of the Annals of Internal Medicine, on October 12, 2021! View it here.

It's been a while since I posted any news. This past May, I completed the MA in Library and Information Studies at the UW-Madison iSchool focused onArt Librarianship, Special Collections, and Digital Humanities.
