In honor of Trans Day of Visibility, we’re celebrating the work of contemporary non-binary and transgender artists. Art has always been a powerful force within the trans community. Art serves as a means of self-expression, storytelling, advocacy, and claiming space in a world that often tries to erase us.

The following works highlight the depth and diversity of trans and nonbinary artistry. Each piece offers a glimpse into the artists’ perspectives, emotions, and experiences, reflecting how creativity can be a form of personal and collective power.

Art by a transgender or non-binary person. An androgynous figure with water pouring out of its head. — "The subject is a pretty androgynous headless figure with water pouring from its neck and vines wrapping all around and extending outward. The method I used for this drawing was the sgraffito method. Both the subject matter and the method I used are representative of my own trans experience. The figure being headless represents how I felt dehumanized when I came out. The water represents how I feel as though I am losing myself, trying desperately to grasp onto it but it slipping through my fingers. The vines can represent how I feel restrained, not truly being able to be my true self. But they can also represent growth and new beginnings. The sgraffito method, which is scratching away at pigment to reveal layers underneath, represents how, slowly, I am scratching away the old me and revealing my true self to the world."

Shad (he/him) @subparlimejello

Art by a transgender or non-binary person. Two trans people over a lovers tarot card. — "I took inspiration from The Lovers card. To me, the card and this piece represent a commitment to love and support yourself and your community. A more literal meaning is about uplifting and validating the common T4T relationship, whether platonic or romantic. I removed the angelic-like figure from the original card and gave the trans figures star-like halos to reflect that being trans is about taking control in your own creation. And a disco ball instead of the sun because it reflects the countless ways a person can define and express themselves while trans."

A heartfelt thank you to all the trans and non-binary artists from our community who shared their incredible work with us. Your creativity, resilience, and talent make the world more vibrant, and we are honored to celebrate you.
