Xena Goldman (she/her) is a painter, muralist, illustrator, comic artist and educator. As someone who struggles with ADHD and working memory deficits, Xena found how-to zine making as a solution to help retain information she learned. In doing so, she could teach herself and others by breaking information into simple terminology, and have a resource to look back on when she forgets. Drawing upon a background in fine arts, education and language, these zines have been the perfect combination of her skills and desire to share her passion for cycling, especially with others who may have also felt discouraged in the past. She graduated with a BA in Art from the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) and currently works freelance in art and art education. She grew up in the greater Chicago area, on Ojibwa, Odawa and Potawatomi land, and lives in Minneapolis, on Dakota and Anishinaabe land. In no particular order, she identifies as female, white, queer, Jewish, neurodivergent and a forever learner.
