Donato-Sapp, H.  (2023).  Commissioned Art Portfolio for the Academic Journal In Dialogue/En Diálogo:  The Journal of the College of Education at California State University Dominguez Hills.  Carson, CA.

In 2022, Dr. Jen Stacy and Dr. Yesenia Fernández, founders and editors of In Dialogue/En Diálogo, contacted Helena and commissioned her to create original art for this new academic journal.  They had seen Helena’s art in some family social media posts and

loved it and wanted their new journal to have youth presence.  Artist-Activist Helena

pulled all of the stops out for the commission, creating a robust 53-page portfolio,

multiple cover ideas, individual art transparencies, and three custom Helenatica fonts. The portfolio was submitted in 2022, and the journal was published in 2023.
