Artist Statement
I am a Deaf artist with a few other disabilities. Since 2017, most of my conceptual work focuses heavily on accessibility and my experiences as a Deaf and disabled person. I gain inspiration from a lot of other disabled artists, for my concepts and exploration. A lot of my work involves bright saturated colors and even interactive elements. I have experience in photography, videography, design, 3D modeling, animation, and I use various mediums for whatever concept fits best. However, most of my work is digital in some way.
| Image Description: A digital photograph of a strange object against a white wall. The lighting in the room casts a blue and violet hue over the object. When looking closer you can see that the object is a flashing fire alarm for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people. The alarm is shown straight on, causing it to look a bit abstract. |
Artist Bio
Quinn is motivated by concept art, the act of telling stories through things that are created. Past experience plays a big key in their art and the styles that are rendered against canvas and different mediums. There is a strong balance between traditional practices and digital art. Quinn enjoys the way each outlet allows them to capture both the themes important to them and to society around them. Their main focus is the theme of accessibility and Disability, molded in a way of understanding and communication.
