My name is Leann Vincent Bigelow and I use She/Her pronouns. I'm an animator and art tutor. The number one thing for me in instructing is combining the artistic method with fun weekly activities. After all, what is art if you aren't having fun while making it? All you need is a pen and paper, and the world will be at your fingertips! Extra materials are always optional but still recommended.

I take pride and satisfaction when I know my tutoring has made a difference in one's life.

I’ve spent the bulk of the last decade studying Philosophy, English, Cybertheory, and Professional Writing at Portland State University. I favor science-fiction (particularly military and cyberpunk) but generally enjoy any story that is interesting and well told. I also enjoy writing and editing for the screen– it is not the medium that intrigues me, but the content.
