How to Grow Your Own Gender is a small book of affirmations for those exploring their gender. Using plants and gardening as metaphors, it offers gentle reflections on self-care, patience, and personal growth.

While rooted in gender exploration, the book extends beyond it: becoming a collection of reminders to slow down, take your time, and care of yourself.

Originally created in 2016 during an Artist Book class in Montréal, this work has been revisited a decade later. In 2026, the book has been refreshed, with selected illustrations redrawn, updated, and reformatted.

It also exists as a small, handheld A6 physical edition. Something that can be held close, carried with you, and returned to whenever it’s needed.
