Dotty McDermott is Fierce & Bold - Multilit Illustration

This year I am working on writing a story about a profound experience I had as a child. More than halfway through my life, I am still called to tell this story. I hope to illustrate it as a graphic novel.

For a short time in 1975, I went to a small school in a dusty wheat belt town in Western Australia. In retrospect, it was a simple situation about trying to fit in and avoid conflict. At the time, it was a shock in more ways than one for a tall tomboy from Sydney's northern beaches.

I look forward to making sense of all the ideas whirling around in my head!
