As an art teacher, a librarian, and a comics artist, Cassy has been exploring visual narrative as a means of self-expression, connection with others, and a healing process. She recently completed an MFA in Comics at California College of the Arts. While working on her graphic novel memoir about healing from intergenerational trauma, she practiced these techniques herself to work through her emotional blocks. Her comics and writing have appeared in publications such as The Comics Journal, Mutha Magazine, GraphicMedicine.org, the International Journal of Comic Art, and School Library Journal. Her hope is to create work and foster spaces that inspire others to break free of what holds them back in order to move forward in brave creative new ways.
