Drew Riley
Trans woman,
she/her.
I am the artist and founder of Gender Portraits, an art series that advocates for gender diverse people through vibrant acrylic paintings of people with bodies, identities, and presentations that fall outside of the narrow gender norms propagated by our society. I craft my work to give viewers a feeling of introduction to my subjects and display written stories of their lives, struggles, and triumphs next to the work. The goal of my art is to foster empathy and validation for people who rarely get to share their voice.
