MEET THE ARTIST!
We are excited to introduce you to our first ever featured artist for our 5th Annual Trans Joy Fest! Jamie (they/them) is a non-binary 32 year old who moved up to Duluth from Texas. They served in the Navy as an Avionics Electrical Technician and despite their love for all things science, has always pursued the arts. Jamie is a freelance custom plushie artist, and they also do digital art and graphic design. In their spare time, they love making connections with the local LGBTQ+ community, being near the lake or woods, training their new service pup, Basil, and anything crafty!
