Welcome loves ♡
I’m so glad you’re here.I create emotionally resonanting, high-quality fandom art for those who see parts of themselves in the characters they love, the ships they root for, or in stories that mirror their own.As a Catholic fangirl (/gender neutral), who's also queer, neurodivergent, and chronically ill - I know how empowering it is to feel seen in art - especially when you’re walking a tight rope of feeling like you're too much and not enough some days.Every portrait I make - whether it’s gothic romance, collaborative commissions, or affordable queer fan prints and merch - is rooted in storytelling, reverence, experience, joy, and/or your feedback. My portfolio includes some examples of the feedback-driven art because your voice matters here.So whether you're looking for art that feels warm, dreaming of a custom piece that conveys the vision, or just browsing your next favorite print - there’s a space for you here 🫶🏻→ Scroll down or browse the buttons above to browse

About

My art is dedicated to the stories that shape us.Rooted in queer joy, gothic romance, crack humor, sacred sexuality, and affirming theology, my creative expression has a range that holds multitudes.I believe fandom can be a mirror - where, when we see ourselves reflected in the stories we love, we are faced with an opportunity to heal. And when art becomes part of that healing, it transcends time and space, becoming a communal thread in the collective. Though to be fair - the crack memes and catbois are . . . just crack memes and catbois (but then again laughter is medicine, too) ;)

Duality

Hi, I’m Katharina - the artist behind Isabelle Hemlock.The name? Isabelle was the name I’d imagined for an AFAB child. Hemlock is a poetic reflection of my own last name. The duality reflects my multifaceted self on a surface level - but let's dive even deeper:I’m (in no particular order) a queer, bilingual, neurodivergent, chronically ill, Catholic millennial and the daughter of immigrants. I’ve always lived between worlds:Too queer for some spaces. Too religious for others.
Too sick to "keep up." Too creative to sit still.Too much. Not enough.And yet - here I am, carving out space for myself and for others, honoring the multitudes we all contain. And that’s what I hope to reflect back through my art: multitudes.

Where it began . . .

Ironically, I thought I had to give up art. Chronic illness had made many traditional mediums inaccessible. But creativity found its way back to me in unexpected ways:Media and storytelling have always been a kind of sanctuary. They gave me characters to relate to, worlds to explore, and, in 2020, people to connect with.In 2020, I started writing again - over a million words poured out of me in the next two years. By 2021, I picked up a free drawing app - and using just my finger on a screen - rediscovered opportunities for creative expression. Sketches turned into portraits. Portraits turned into commissions. Slowly, an art business began to form.By 2023, I opened my shop with digital fandom prints. In 2024, I expanded to physical art prints, fandom merch, and a growing Patreon community.

My hope for the present and future

I'm so grateful to share my art with you. Whether that's through commissions, shop orders, or Patreon collaboration - every portrait has the opportunity to become something communal.I hope my art brings warmth, joy, and helps you feel seen ♡
