Other Works
Terminal Sisters Art Collective is a loose collaborative effort between my partner and I, and a few other queer artist friends in the Chicagoland area and beyond. In the future, we hope to branch out to forms of artistic expression we haven’t dabbled in yet, like music and game development.
What began as casual collaborations and late-night conversations about art, identity, and community gradually evolved into a more cohesive creative ecosystem. One shaped by mutual support, experimentation, and the desire to carve out a space where queer artists can explore projects without the pressures of perfection or rigid structure. Our collective thrives on the idea that art is at its most vibrant when people feel safe enough to take risks, share half-formed ideas, and allow those ideas to be shaped by others.
Right now, our work primarily lives in the visual realm: illustration, mixed-media pieces, zines, small-run prints, album covers, and visual novels that blur the line between formal exhibition and community hangout. Each project is informed by our overlapping but distinct perspectives, reflecting everything from personal histories and queer futurism to the playful, chaotic energy of collaborative creation. Because the collective remains intentionally flexible, people can step in for a single project or join a long-term collaboration, depending on what their life and creative energy allow.
Looking forward, we hope to push beyond the mediums we’ve already explored and branch into new forms of artistic expression that have been simmering in our imaginations. Music, sound art, and small experimental games are at the top of that list—fields in which none of us are experts yet, but which excite us precisely because they offer unfamiliar challenges. Ultimately, Terminal Sisters is about growth, curiosity, and building a creative network where queer artists can expand their practices together, discovering new ways to tell stories and make meaning.
