Pride, painting, and plot twists | The Misfit Diaries: Ch.9

August is Pride month in Copenhagen, and seeing my community both celebrated (and protested for) on such a grand scale did what it always does to me: brought up All The Feelings. Joy, connection, imposter syndrome, not-enoughness, community, acceptance - let's just say it's complicated! 🤣 This month also threw a major plot twist my way - in the form of some ridiculously exciting (and terrifying) news I'm still reeling from - and saw me painting up a storm after a restorative summer break. So come and spend the month with me: a queer art show, a gloriously boundary-f*cking burlesque, a new British pub (sticky toffee PUDDING!), the ongoing saga of my poor broken body, and the pudding cats absolutely determined to join in with every painting I attempt. 💙 BECOME A FRIEND OF THE HAUS 💙 If you want to support what I do then become a Friend of The Haus!

Her weekly newsletter is the stuff of legend and has been described as 'a safe space to be exactly who you are'. Her artwork is in private collections worldwide, and her ideas have been featured in multiple media outlets, including the Nautilus Silver Award-winning book Creatrix: She Who Makes. She reads ten books a week (the only hint of savant-ism her autism has given her), snorts when she laughs (it’s adorable!), and might actually be a pile of cats in a sparkly trench coat.
