Art That Heals: The Rainbow Rescue Mission

Art as Resistance

Art has always been my way of channeling everything I feel, everything I experience, and everything I believe in. From my love for nature to my passion for queer representation, each piece of art I create is a reflection of self-discovery, queer joy, and resilience. Today, I’m so excited to share with you my latest art collection, one that I am calling the “Rainbow Rescue Mission.” Making these paintings and adding a little rainbow to my day, every day, truly rescued me. Let me explain.

The Birth of the Rainbow Rescue Mission

Have you ever received earth-shattering news? The kind that makes you question everything? The kind that turns your world black? At the end of 2024, that was me. I was in a seriously dark place, struggling to find any motivation or hope for the future. But each day, I got up, drew up a design based on my flash, and challenged myself to color it using my favorite palette, rainbow. That’s literally all I could manage some days, and at the time, it didn’t feel like much. But looking back, I see it for what it was—queer joy and resilience in action. 

This little rainbow challenge, forced me to show up for myself, even when I didn’t feel like it. Somewhere in that process, these pieces became more than paintings—they became proof that I could keep going, and I feel really proud of them. 

The Healing of Letting Go

At first, I honestly couldn’t imagine parting with these little lifelines. They felt too personal, too tied to a moment of growth and resilience in my life. But as I’ve been naming them, writing their descriptions (like little adoption profiles🥹), and preparing them to find new homes, something has shifted. Art projects that once felt like mere survival tools have transformed into living pieces of my story—ones I now feel ready to share. What started as bittersweet has turned into excitement. I can’t wait to see them go out into the world and bring some much-needed ROYGBIV joy to someone else’s life.

A Rainbow for Everyone: Let’s Spread Some Joy

These pieces lifted me when I needed them most, and now, I’m ready to send them out into the world, where I hope they can do the same for someone else. Except for "Rainbow Forager"—the painting that started it all. That one stays with me, but prints are available so its magic can still be shared.

I hope these paintings find their way into spaces where they can spread the same joy and resilience that I poured into them. These pieces are not just a celebration of the rainbow, they represent everything that makes us unique, strong, and unapologetically ourselves.

If any of these pieces speak to you, consider adopting a rainbow of your own. Let them serve as a reminder that even in the darkest times, possibility and healing are always within reach. Here’s to showing up for yourself, even when you don’t feel like it.

“Rainbow Forager”

This is the painting that started it all. Unlike my usual process, I created this piece without references—just pure instinct, flow, and feeling.  It holds so much of my journey, which is why I’m keeping the original for myself! #FosterFail 🔗Art Print

“Neurobloom”

Neurobloom is deeply personal to me—a fusion of the human mind and nature, inspired by my love for neuroscience, queerness, and neurodivergence. I wanted this piece to reflect the complexity and beauty of different ways of thinking, feeling, and growing. 🔗Original │Art Print

“Vow To The Meow”

Vow To The Meow is all about the deep, unconditional love I have for cats. Whether they’re curled up on my lap or silently judging me from across the room, they always have a way of making life a little better. 🔗Original │Art Print

“Bioluminesnail”

I poured so much love into Bioluminesnail, blending my favorite things: snails, mushrooms, and RAINBOW. Snails have always reminded me of patience, resilience, and the quiet magic of slow journeys. 🔗Original │Art Print

“Nebula Bloom”

This dreamy, celestial piece is my way of blending the beauty of space with the boundless, radiant energy of queerness. This piece is inspired by my wish that somehow, somewhere, there is a magical portal that can transport us to a universe of infinite queerness. 🔗Original │Art Print

“Metal & Petals”

This piece started with a simple question: “If I were a flower, what would I be?” A pierced peony of course! This piece is a fusion of softness and edge, and is the perfect tribute to the beauty of being both soft and strong. 🔗Original │Art Print

“Prismatic Decay”

I’ve always been fascinated by the balance between growth and decay, creepy and cute, and this piece explores that contrast. It’s a reminder that even in endings, there’s transformation, renewal, and unexpected beauty. 🔗Original │Art Print

“Vascular Bloom”

Vascular Bloom came from my love of blending anatomy with nature. The heart—vulnerable yet strong—felt like the perfect symbol for queer resilience, growth, and the power of living authentically.  🔗Original │Art Print 

“Rainbow Garden”

Rainbow Garden is pure, unfiltered joy. No rules, no references, just free-flowing color and floral doodles straight from my heart. It’s a celebration of queerness, creativity, and making art purely for the love of it. This piece reflects the joy of creating freely and for the fun of it. 🔗Original │Art Print
