Skyler James

My Story

Skyler is a self-taught 2D visual artist who creates physical and digital works of art that tend toward a visualization of Queer sexuality and identity. Growing up in the Midwest, their love for creating was complicated and hindered by societal messages against Queer liberation that taught them to hide parts of their self out of shame. But now out and proud, visualizing Queer sexuality and identity through their art acts as an expression of defiance against those societal messages that unfortunately still persist in our society today.
