I am a queer woman working as an artist in Milwaukee. My aim is to represent different members and aspects of Milwaukee's queer community. It is no secret to us that our queer history is one of the most ignored and covered up in society. Our identities are consistently undermined and attacked. We are constantly subject to stereotypes, when we understand that our community is vast and diverse. Many are even unaware of the existence of Milwaukee's queer community and that it is scattered across the city. This is my attempt to give us recognition.
PLEASE BE APART OF THIS PROJECT AND INVITE YOUR OTHER QUEER FRIENDS IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA.
Who: Queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, trans, genderqueer, dykes, fags, femmes, butches, etc..
How: Let me spend time with you, let's grab coffee or a drink, let's go dancing, go to an event. I will ask YOU how YOU want to be represented. What do you want me to depict from your life or who you are as a person? Also please know that I will take photos for source material.
What Medium: Working mainly large scale (on closet doors and such) oil paintings and drawings, mixed with printmaking (wood cuts, etc)
When: Now and into the next year. Either "attend" and I will contact you or if you are eager to do it right away I'll make time for you as soon as possible.
