A Gentle Way

 

A Gentle Way

In branding, I help other people tell their story. In this project, I tell my own!

So, what is my story? My story is a journey out of a rule and belief-based religion, finding a process of gentle inquiry, and discovering my inner power to break with addiction. These addictions stunted my growth and ability to create, so navigating through them has helped in my work.

The zine contains over twenty years of sketches from my journals and a narrative I wrote connecting them. I self-published the zine and launched it at the KC Zine Conference. I also received an award in the Illustration category at the American Institute of Graphic Arts A19.

If you’re interested, you can read the zine here or purchase a copy here.
