How does being queer inform your work?

I think being queer allows me to be more empathetic and accepting towards people of all different backgrounds.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I think my favorite pieces are what my friends create around me, I always feel inspired by them, and it pushes me to work on my own art.

Which other queer people inspire you?

My favorite would have to be Marilyn Monroe, her compassion and empathy for others was something that wasnt really seen in the 1950's. Also my friends who work in communication design.
