Hello! My name is Connor Swayden, I am a second-year student at The University of New Mexico majoring in Animation and minoring in Studio Art. I have been sketching, painting, and creating ever since I was little with the dream of being a Disney Animator. I have been studying animation since high school, taking after-school classes and learning on my own to achieve this dream. Art and animation are a big part of my life as a creative storyteller, and I hope to create and foster the same passion in those I interact with and teach.

Ivy Rose is a comic artist who grew up in Los Angeles and became involved in the underground comic scene upon moving to San Francisco to study Social Work. When teaching different curriculums, she combines her knowledge of serving others and creating a prolific amount of creative literature. She has been selling zines, a DIY form of literature that is self published, for 6 years by developing her own small business as a platform to sell her original artwork. Since living in Albuquerque, her focus is to encourage community members and students to express themselves using the art of collaborative mini comics. Comics have been the most helpful, exciting, and beautiful way of self expression for Ivy. For this reason, it is her goal in life to share this method of artwork to as many different people as she can. Poetry, comics, and the ability to self publish are the most empowering tools a person can easily access in their own lifetime.
