Zines
Recipe Collections
If there is one hobby I enjoy more than making art, it's cooking. Not only is cooking important for survival, but it also fosters connection with others. My zine highlights the recipes I have gathered and altered over the years. From recipes learned from my mother to meals I cook often as a college student, each of these ten recipes has my personal memories tied to them. I also wanted to make this zine practical. The zine not only serves as a mini piece of art, but also as a cookbook with small recipe cards for each recipe mentioned. I hope whoever grabs this zine will stop to appreciate the role fresh-cooked food plays in our lives, as well as the recipes they will add to their own list of favorites.
Pen Pal Letters from Tiger and Penguin
This foldable zine features a wholesome story about a tiger and a penguin who are pen pals and write letters to each other often. Their names are Tiger and Penguin. Tiger lives in the jungle and has an energetic, bold personality. Meanwhile, Penguin’s personality is much timider and lives in chilly Antarctica. They both share interesting facts about their homes, their favorite foods, and even their social circles. While Tiger and Penguin come from two dissimilar parts of the world and seeming to have little in common, they build a friendship through their letters.
Hymn in a Box
This collapsable zine was created in inspiration of the Christian hymn Where Can I Turn for Peace. It features a character traveling across a windy environment to find Jesus Christ. My goal was have this zine serve as a portable reminder of the love of Jesus Christ.
Untamed
Growing up in a rural farming community, plants were an essential part of my daily life. My family grew apples, cherries, blueberries, and other produce, and fresh fruit was always available in our home. Much of my childhood was spent walking through orchards and fields, watching plants change with the seasons, and seeing the care required to help them grow. Influenced by children’s media that personified animals and objects, I imagined these plants as having personalities and inner lives of their own. This early sense of wonder shaped how I viewed plants not just as resources but as living presences.
As you flip through this zine, you will follow along with this little girl as she explores the fields and orchards of select produce grown in the western United States. This zine invites you to slow down and reconnect with the quiet, often overlooked role that plants play in shaping our lives and environments.
