Keelan is a transgender artist living in Seattle, WA, “Growing up, I never saw my whole self in mainstream media. My closest connection to representation were high-femme superheroes and villains I'd see in video games and anime. Eventually, I began drawing these characters and creating my own without realizing I was subconsciously expressing how I wanted to show up in the world.”
“One of my life goals is to be an example of authenticity. When you don't show up in the world as all of you, you are doing a disservice to yourself and others.”
