“Self Portrait,” Oil on 24”x36” Canvas, 2024

My name is Valden. I’m starting this art blog as an attempt at escape from oppressive sites and queer censorship, but I know that truly that exists everywhere. I wanted to start with this piece I made for a pride show. For many trans people our bodies are our enemies. Seeming to work against us in society and outside of it. As an artist though, I’ve always felt connected with my hands. I hope it can bring comfort to others in a time where comfort is hard pressed to find. Do not let them kill you.
