Atlanta-based visual artist, SOFAHOOD, has been creating since the age of 4 and has since expanded her illustrations into murals around the city of Atlanta. She is a Georgia State University graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in sociology and a certificate in queer studies. Her knowledge of oppressed identity blended with her desire to be an independent artist have allowed her to explore her communities in a unique way through public painting and digital illustration. 

As a Black and Afro-Latinx; visibly and loudly queer; chubby fupa-having; passionate leftist; generally hairy yet short-haired; agender yet woman-identifying artist, SOFAHOOD creates to eternalize the complex feelings and ordinary moments of the silenced and the oppressed. This message bursts through in all forms of her expression: cathartic, political work; revived archives; pop culture illustrations; and inclusive murals. Through loud colors and even louder subject matters, SOFAHOOD creates a home for the very valid emotions and experiences of the unheard.
