Joan of Arc With Top Surgery Scars (2020)

One of the most highly debated and controversial pieces I have ever made- I personally see Joan of Arc as a strong and beautiful champion of gender nonconformity for her time, despite great prosecution. (1/2)

Altarpiece (2024)
Reclaimed Christian altarpiece, acrylic, colored pencil, gold leaf
73” x 51” x 1”

We are beautiful, we are divine, we are worthy of love, worthy of adoration, worthy of growing old and loving and feeling and living.
To my trans siblings- Time flies, remember to live.

A brown wooden double panel altarpiece with two interior painted panels that take up 75% of the height. The bottom quarter is adorned with gold filigree and stars with “Tempus Fugit Memento Vivere” written in gold gothic font. The panel on the left shows a light skinned naked trans woman standing in a flowing river, her hair is dark and curly and held in an elaborate updo with gold strings and pearls. She wears a red shawl draped over her arms with gold embroidery and large gold hoop earrings. The background is deep blue with cattails growing from the water behind her. She has a gold leaf halo behind her head and golden stars above her head. The right panel shows a naked dark skinned trans man standing in a field of wild strawberries. He has dark wavy hair and wears a green shawl with gold embroidery draped around his arms and wears gold arm bands and earrings. The background is a cloudy pastel sunset with golden sundays radiating from a gold leaf halo behind his head.

A tattoo inspired by the short story Dream House as the Queen and the Squid that appears in Carmen Maria Machado's 2019 memoir In the Dream House. Thank you Rachel! 🎠✨🦑

A tattoo on a light skin woman’s bicep of a rearing fantastical horse carrying a squid in a saddle bag. The bridal and aspects of the saddle bag are tattooed in red ink with small blue gemstones dangling from the edges. The rest of the tattoo is done in black and gray inks. The horse wears an elaborate chest harness inlaid with gemstones and its mane and tail curl dramatically in the breeze. The squid’s tentacles trail behind it as if the horse is traveling forwards at great speed.

A reddish brown ink illustration on a light blue textured paper background depicting a trans woman disrobing and stepping into a circular bathing pool. Plants, flowers, and stars surround her, and vase at the edge of the pool emits a magical swirling smoke. A label on the right hand side spells out “Aphrodite” in vertically oriented lettering surrounded by vines and flowers. The artist’s signature [TG] is in the bottom right underneath the label.

A tattoo on light tan skin showing a Minotaur tied in red shibari style rope bondage. He had a yellow line halo radiating around his head and is crying blue tears while looking out at the viewer. A tattoo on a light skin thigh of a Selkie removing her seal skin. She is standing on the edge of an ocean with clouds and cliffs in the background. Her hair is blowing in the breeze. A tattoo of women dancing around the bicep of a warm toned light skinned woman. The tattoo wraps around the entire arm, but only the front three are visible in the photo. A tattoo of a version of “The Star” tarot card on a dark skinned woman’s shoulder/arm. The illustrations depicts a black trans woman with braids holding two jugs of water, one balanced on her head while she pours out the other into a river. She is sitting on a rock. The water from the river spills out from the edges of the card creating a waterfall. There are mountains and stars in the background and the Roman numeral number XVII at the top. The tattoo is done in black and gray ink.
