A Gentle Way

Featuring a selection of personal journal illustrations, this 24-page zine charts my journey from a rule and belief-based religion to a process of gentle inquiry that led to love and the discovery of my inner power to break addiction.

I began the project in September 2023 by collating 55 images from 20 years of personal journals. I had a hunch that if I could see all the illustrations together in one place, they would tell me a single story, and they did! I self-published the zine and launched it live at KC Zine Conference on June 23, 2024, and in August of the same year, I received an award for illustration at AIGA A19!
