I’m Kendra, a professional cartoonist for the New Yorker Magazine as well as Wired, the Wall Street Journal, Woman’s World, Narrative Magazine, Alpinist, Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine and many other publications and organizations. In my more personal work, I love taking months-long hikes and bike rides and drawing what I find there and I’m currently working on a graphic novel. I didn’t go to a traditional art school and I couldn’t draw at all in my early 20’s. I’m largely self-taught with great additions from continuing education classes and great teachers, friends and mentors I found along the way. I love teaching adults because I know how frustrating it can be to learn these skills as an adult, when you’re far from your goal, and also how satisfying it is when you reach those artistic goals and then keep going beyond to new ones.
