why i paint the gays
“I paint Flowers so they will not die” - Frida Kahlo painter, fighter, queer icon
being a lesbian myself and having a fascination with painting, art history, and Bridgerton…it’s impossible to not notice how little we are represented in historical media. in the niche community of live painters we are also overlooked an awful lot. i believe this is due to the sensitivity in which most queer couples feel they have to handle their unions with, before and especially ever since the Supreme Court ruled against us in Masterpiece Cakeshop vs. Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
it seems like a totally queer exclusive extra step to find vendors that align with your queerness, understand your chosen family, and will embrace you with open arms. Being an artist in “someone will remember us: a lesbian exhibition”, gave me the motivation to paint queer people so we are remembered. I look forward to giving the gift of timelessness to you. nostalgia is something that not many before us were given the chance to have.
