What do you offer?

I am a Live Wedding Painter and Guest Illustrator, and love creating a special painted piece or memorable, unique illustrations to reflect a couple's special day.

Why do you want to work with the LGBTQ+ community?

I want to work within my community and love to paint couples of all kinds, as I am queer myself. Nothing is more important to me than uplifting and creating beautiful art for the LGBTQ+ community.

Allyship

I have always been driven to supporting the lgbtq+ and minority communities. Both of my dissertations at University were themed around inclusivity and diversity, with a focus on the queer community, and I have led an LGBTQ art exhibition a few years ago about the history of queer people. I will always speak up and stand my ground for my community.

Previously I've offered free paintings for LGBTQ individuals to build my portfolio and ensure I had queer representation. I plan to continue to do this if I don't book many queer weddings, so my portfolio is balanced and it is clear where I stand on representing the LGBTQ+ community.
