Hi I'm Tori!

I'm a writer, an artist, a creator of things.

For a long time I've been unable to make art the way I want due to a wrist injury that hampered my mobility, flexibility, stamina and strength. Having my own garden to build and tend since 2018 has slowly strengthened my wrist, enabling me to get back to using it in more refined ways. Early in 2024 I was able to start making art again and as the months have passed I've rebuilt my ability to use my wrist in better and more creative ways. I'm hoping this progression will continue over time and one day I'll be free to create as and when I want with no limits. For now I take each day as it comes. That I can make art at all is a gift, one I'll never take for granted.
I owe a huge debt of thanks to Stuart Semple and his ArtSchool for helping me embrace life as an artist again and push to be able to make my art my way once more.

Twelve years ago my online comic fizzled out and while I've been trying to breathe life back into it ever since, repeated knocks have kept me from it as much as my art. This year the spark has reignited and with my growing ability to make art I'm determined that it will make a triumphant return once more.

Art of 2024

I am currently working hard to build this site and display a range of my work across the years. Until it's ready here's a sample of this year's work. It features pieces made both digitally and practically.
