Vanessa Dolfinger

Writer, poet, illustrator

Vanessa is a writer, poet, and illustrator from New York who has seen the world as one big story for as long as she can remember. As a young black child, she was particularly interested in writings and art that focused on diversity and inclusion. Her fascination with fairy tales, cartoons, urban fantasy and sci fi led her to a creative writing degree from Fordham University, where she also fell in love with sequential art. Her current goal is to further expand her love of stories in the visual realm and is currently focusing on poetry and illustration.
