Author & artist Raven Oak, pictured with teal & purple hair, a side shave, and red glasses. They are smiling.

To me, the imagination is everything. From the moment I could hold a pencil, I was doodling and creating. New creatures and old, far away places, animals around me–it didn’t matter. Everything was something to draw or paint.

It took me a long time to believe I had any artistic talent outside of writing and music. I think that’s true for many artists, but I believe in supporting each other on our journeys, wherever they may lead us. I’ve been creating worlds since I could dream, and I think that Mr. Sagan said it best…

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.”
