In February, 2017, I started a new art practice: zine making. Since then I’ve been making one a month and I started a patreon as an easy way to manage subscribers.

In this Keep Begin Detach at Em Wolfman in Oakland California. It was a cozy time in the back with some christmas lights, telling stories about Georgia O’Keefe’s life and a little about her work.

Katarina is creating zines | Patreon I had some feelings of emptiness of selling my zines to bookstores because I didn’t know who was reading them.

I had some time off from work after my father died. I wanted to catch up on some projects I’ve been thinking about doing but had less focus to get them out there and out of my to-do list. This is a zine reflecting on some rough times I had with my mental health and…
