"My meditative, colorful, abstract art serves as a vibrant celebration of individuality and self-acceptance, themes deeply resonant with the HIV/AIDS and transgender/gender diverse communities. By embracing a kaleidoscope of colors and fluid forms, the artwork symbolizes the beauty of diversity and the importance of being comfortable in one's own skin. It fosters a sense of peace and empowerment, encouraging viewers to embrace their unique identities. This art is a visual testament to resilience, self-love, and the ongoing journey towards equality and understanding. Through these abstract compositions, I aim to inspire a dialogue about acceptance and the importance of supporting each other in being our authentic selves." -Mary Elizabeth Marvin
