I’ve been Illustrating and writing quite a bit towards my Little bird project. I’m sure a lot will be edited and cut and I need to still go back through some of my older poems for this collection but I’m pretty proud of how it’s coming along #amwriting #canlit #illustratedpoetry #canadianartist

Hand holding open a handmade zine against a white background. Left page features a surrealist red-outlined eye with green tears dripping onto a grid pattern, with handwritten text reading "It's all a dream... Don't make it a nightmare." Right page filled with dense black ink line drawings of abstract shapes, hands, and dreamlike imagery.

Found an old zine I made ~10 years ago. Poems and paintings from a different chapter. Sharing pages throughout the week. First up: "It's all a dream... Don't make it a nightmare."

Maybe if I don't look, the world won't fall apart today ...

Merging Emotion and Art Illustrated poetry merges language and visual art, creating a sensory experience that captures emotion. It evolves through history, inviting reflection by connecting viewers and readers through creative dialogue.

And somewhere
between word and colour
we find a little more
of what it means
to be human.

Midlife Lessons on Beauty and Acceptance Midlife encourages reflection on beauty, love, and letting go, fostering new awareness, deeper connections, and creative expression. This transformative phase embraces change, integration, and rediscovery of life's richness.

#Midlife changes how we see #beauty, #love, and #purpose. It invites us to let go of old stories and welcome the parts of ourselves we once set aside.

You told yourself you were fine. But fear has its own way of finding you. Black Ice is an illustrated poem about hidden danger and the moment you lose your footing.

Sometimes life's like that. Unexpected, bruising, beautiful.
