Better Together
Mixed media drawing by Reina Morton
One of the most comforting things in the world is having someone you can relate to, vent out your problems with, and share interests with. Especially when discovering your identity or sexuality, having someone to fall back on gives a sense of safety. This piece is meant to represent that feeling of happiness and belonging when you find that person or group :)

Let it Bloom
Painting by Pragya Natarajan
This is a painting with roses that represent different colors on the pride flag. Letting someone bloom is letting them flourish, so my piece is called, "Let Me Bloom." I made this painting about a year ago.
