Career
Secrets of Sorcerers, Mayhew's first published work, was a webcomic. In 2005, she redrew it for print publication. The Ontario Arts Council awarded Mayhew a Northern Arts grant to finance Secrets of Sorcerers Vol. 2. The work also received an award from the International Manga and Anime Festival, a discontinued convention once held at County Hall in the UK, London by the now defunct County Hall Animation Studio.
In 2006, Mayhew illustrated the children's book The First Emperor by Vicki Low, about Prince Fu Su son of Emperor Zheng, and self-published the short webcomic Love Pet.
In 2008 Mayhew began work on the Legend of the Ztarr, which she self-published in serial form in 2011 with the aid of a grant from the Ontario Arts Council. In 2013, Mayhew launched a crowdfunding campaign to extend the series, with a projected publication date in July 2016.
In 2016 Mayhew illustrated the sketch and reference guide IDRAW MANGA, edited by Matt Marrocco, a reference with background information on the manga art industry and an introduction to character design, proportions and background effects.
