A welcoming place for all creatures alike, LevityGhosts is a queer owned studio dedicated to creating an empathetic and honest environment. Through bold and colourful imagery I strive to help the obscure souls of the world feel heard; by sharing vulnerable thoughts and valued sentiments, I hope to spark long overdue conversations regarding intersectionality.
Initially born from a desire to process complex emotions, LevityGhosts is an amalgamation of my fear and “survival” strategy; Until recent years I was terrified of ghosts, and dealing with this fear was easiest through a bit of levity. “I know you love to startle me but cut it out!”- I’d say jokingly, treating them like a petulant child. I also wanted to challenge my fear head on - I began to incorporate ghosts into my creations, often drawing them in a cute or silly manner.
Levity is how I dealt with many of the struggles in life, wrapping myself in it to protect from the bitterness of an abusive household. It was my companion oftentimes, keeping me going on the darkest days. Im grateful to have had it, but I want more for myself and others. LevityGhosts was made to communicate my deepest truths, but it is also an endeavour to create a supportive community of likeminded folks.
