Artist Statement
This piece is Transmanian Devil. At it’s center a Tasmanian Devil, an animal often thought of as aggressive but in reality only acts aggressive when cornered, conducting a great symphony of beautiful music. Transmanian Devil casts a great trans flag over the canvas and into the world. Spreading a great blanket of sound saying you are loved to people often treated poorly. You are loved and you are beautiful. Sing your beauty into the world.
I used Copic marker on Bristol vellum to bring Transmanian Devil to the world. I sketch everyday and I put pride flags into a lot of my work. It means a lot to me that people are protected and feel valued. I yearn for the day that we don’t have to be loud to drown out the negative vibes in the world. When everyone is accepted for who they are.
