Rachel Allen Everett recently graduated with a BFA in illustration. As a child, Everett struggled with reading. Her strong visual leanings kept her away from books until she found collections of graphic novels on the bookshelves of her junior high classroom. Clive Barker’s ‘The Thief of Always,’ and Jeff Smith’s ‘Bone’ became cherished literature.
“I was drawn to pursue comics after seeing a one-page story by BYU alum Jake Wyatt in an anthology of comics by BYU alumni,” said Everett.
For years, Everett dreamed of making her own graphic novel. When the time came for her to create her Capstone project, the culminating work of her undergraduate degree, it was the perfect opportunity for her to start bringing her vision to life.
