Art is on pause for a bit. Currently have a concussion on top of my prior TBI so darkness and puppies are my best friends.

This was my last project I’ve been working on…

Puppies for tax…

I have a lot to say about this piece so interpret as you may. I haven’t titled it.

“This One’s For The Girls (read: Boys)”
Elian E.
Dec. 2023

I painted this after the song of the same name popped into my head. I was thinking about an old family photo somewhere that my mother probably still has that is no longer funny now that I’ve come out. Now that I’ve chopped off my hair with scissors and my parents have been ashamed dragging me places trying to explain I’m actually a girl I just look like this. I wish every parent could look at an 8 year old who wears a GAP adults suit jacket to school every day with their uniform skirt and begs to wear a tie and not say “sure Avril Lavigne wears a tie” but get the bigger picture.

I was never Avril Lavigne. I never wanted to be. I just knew I wasn’t a girl.

“The absence of light.”
Elian E.
Nov. 2023

I’ve been doing art to combat insomnia recently.

This piece I did tonight/this morning to me is about the grieving process I’m encountering with my disabilities and learning how to live life again.

[Image Description: A black canvas with white raised braille writing. The writing reads “The absence of light” in the corner is the artists signature EFE, also in braille]
