1. Tell us a little about your career in the comics industry?

I started at Malibu Comics after I graduated from college with a Fine Art degree. They were looking for colorists to start their digital coloring department. This was early in the days of digital coloring! Later, the company was purchased by Marvel Comics, and I worked there for a few more years. I had met and married my husband Hank Kanalz, who was an editor there at the time. When we started our family, I knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but I also wanted to continue to color and express myself artistically. I have been a stay at home mom & freelance artist ever since. I feel so blessed that I can work from home coloring and still be available for my family
