Under Winter Waters, is J.E’s own illustrated narrative project. The tale, inspired by folklore (and spiraling out of another, more ambitous project) is set on the edge of an alpine lake, where themes of grief, connection, magic, and memory unfold through the relationship between a man, a ghost, and a witch. In 2025, J.E. was awarded an artist’s residency to expand this project, culminating in her exhibition, The Story So Far—a gallery of illustrations, paintings, sketchbook pages, and interactive works that explored the developing world of Under Winter Waters and invited viewers into the creative process beneath the story’s surface (Zappekin Gallery 2025).
