The Cabinet brings together work from different parts of my creative life: illustration, embroidery, zines, found imagery and community projects.

These works weren't originally made as a single body of practice. They grew from different interests, ideas and experiments. Looking at them together, though, I can see recurring threads: curiosity, storytelling, transformation, the familiar made strange, and the things that reveal themselves when you look a little closer.

This Cabinet is a way of gathering those threads together.

I'm interested in what they might become when given room to develop.

Cabinet # 01

Collection one

Strange & Wonderful

I use found and historical illustrations as starting points, layering my own drawings, characters, textures and typography over them to create new and often unexpected narratives.

The collection also includes embroidery and the illustrated house-castle that has become part of this website's visual language.

A framed black and white illustration of a fierce lion with a muscular body, holding a staff in a dramatic scene, with the phrase "Sender Kills My Vibe" written in pink at the bottom.
A framed black and white painting of an interior room with large windows, a bird on the windowsill, a dog, furniture, and hanging plants.
Line drawing of a castle with multiple turrets, spires, and arched windows on a dark green background.

“Reimagining the familiar and finding wonder in the unexpected.”

A black and white landscape artwork featuring mountains, clouds, trees, and ancient ruins or arches, with a small group of people in the foreground and a dragon wrapped around the top of the ruins.
A black and white landscape painting framed in light wood, depicting a griffin on top of rocky cliffs, a lake, and clouds in the sky.
Embroidery hoop with hand-stitched blue flowers and green leaves on white fabric, on a wooden surface.

Collection Two

Hidden Stories

A ghost illustration with the text "want a wispy hug?" on a dark background, partially visible cursive text at the bottom.

Through illustration, embroidery and altered archival imagery, I explore mental health, wellbeing and identity.

Colour, symbolism and small interventions become ways of hiding and revealing meaning, inviting the viewer to look beyond the first impression.

Sketches of various botanical elements on fabric stretched in embroidery hoops.
Embroidery of a red mushroom with white spots, surrounded by green foliage, on white fabric placed in an embroidery hoop.
Colorful cone-shaped flowers in shades of pink, orange, blue, purple, and red, surrounded by green foliage and dark green stems.
Embroidery hoop with stitched purple mushrooms, yellow leaves, black and yellow branches, and purple dots on white fabric.
A black-and-white drawing of two people fighting with swords, with trees and a cabin in the background and a person watching the sword fight and the Grim Reaper standing behind them, on a framed wall.

“Stories we carry, hide and gradually reveal.”

A framed black-and-white artwork of a roaring lion with flowing mane, set against a textured background, with colorful floral accents at the bottom.

Collection Three

Handmade Narratives

My zines give me a space to experiment with storytelling through illustration, writing, collage and bookmaking.

Drawing from horror, folklore and lived experience, these small publications explore the space where fictional worlds and personal stories overlap.

A folded leaflet on a wooden surface features a poem titled "The Fog" and an illustration of a woman with long dark hair, wearing a green dress.
A folded paper with cartoon illustrations and text, featuring a humanoid skeleton and a fairy tale character with wings and curly hair, on a wooden surface.
A brochure titled 'Red River: how to survive your next visit to our quaint town' featuring a river, mountains, and small houses on its cover, with artistic illustrations in black, white, and teal colors.
Miniature book titled 'Words with Birds' resting on a wooden surface.
A printed sheet with two bird illustrations and text, one labeled '1. A bold, bravado' and the other 'Wings up, beaks out, and stare your true self!'

“Small worlds, handmade stories, discovered one page at a time.”

A hand-drawn comic on a piece of paper featuring white ghosts, flowers, and speech bubbles with text about a black dog. The background is a wooden surface.
A handwritten note with illustrations. One side has a drawing of a person in historical attire, along with the words "Around the world thoughts shall fly." The other side has a quote: "None of us like each other, but one thing is we all hate you," accompanied by a sketch of a person with long hair.
Hand-drawn illustrations of mushrooms and plants on paper, with handwritten notes about their characteristics and habitat, placed on a wooden surface.
Hand-drawn illustrations of forest mushrooms, pine cones, and small plants with handwritten notes describing each item.

Collection four

Community practice

This collection brings together artwork, visual identity, event materials and documentation from Quiet Chaos Club.

Through this work, I've been exploring creativity not only as something to make, but as something that can bring people together, creating opportunities for conversation, participation and connection.

People gathered around a large table in an art classroom, working on creative projects. There are windows with blue blinds, and art supplies are scattered on the table. Some individuals are talking, and others are focused on their work.
View of a room with a wooden floor, showing some people in the background and a wheelchair with purple wheels on the right side. There are some pastel-colored candies on the floor in the shape of a heart in the foreground.
Two women sit at a table with microphones, engaging in conversation. The background features wooden paneling, art supplies, and a window letting in natural light.
A discussion or interview taking place in a room with a person speaking into a microphone and another listening. Several people are seated around tables with items such as books, papers, and yarn. A camera on a tripod is set up in the background.

“Creating spaces where people can connect, create and belong.”

A group of people sitting in a waiting area, some wearing masks, using their phones or reading. There are photos on the wall and a large banner with the words 'Together for...' partially visible.

Looking across these works, I'm beginning to notice the same questions appearing in different forms.

How can familiar things become strange?
How can an image hold a story beneath its surface?
What makes a fictional world feel real?
What happens when making becomes something we do together?

I don't have all the answers yet….

That's part of what I want to explore next.
