Tessa Hulls is a multi-disciplinary creative force of human nature. As a teacher and illustrator, Tessa has created her own unique style of visual storytelling that not only compels her readers to places of new understanding, but she is also a conceptual alchemist who can effortlessly compose facts, events, perspectives, and emotions into beautiful pieces of art. Tessa is also an adventurer, a cyclist, a naturalist, activist, innovator, and dedicated and loving friend and daughter. She has just released a new graphic memoir titled “Feeding Ghosts”, that was ten years in the making. She has emerged from the process feeling conflicted about being creative for a living, which is something she has done for her entire life. But don’t worry…Tessa has a plan! Join us for a walk around Seattle’s Chinatown-International District and Pioneer Square, as we learn more about Tessa’s process, her new book, and what happens when your creativity is placed into a medically-induced coma.
