The Artists


Angella~Dee Sherriffe

“I have taken over 10 years to complete my transition to become Angella-Dee. I have come out the other side as a Digital video producer and creative photographer. I am now clean and sober after many years of drug and alcohol dependence. I now think life is so precious that it must be lived to the full extreme wherever possible. Life is good. Hey!”

Åsa Johannesson

“I’m a fine art photographer. My work explores notions of self and otherness, with a focus on gendered identity. The subjects in my photographs often function as a form of doppelgängers: Traces of their identities become reflections of myself. The photograph, for me, is a space where identity is dismantled and also a sphere where identity is created. My work is informed by fantasies and fears surrounding questions of who we are, mentally and physically, and who we feel we are in the eyes of others. I graduate from the Royal College of Art in 2009. I now live and work in London.”

Andrew J B Stevens

“I am a 52 year old trans man. Currently I am working towards BACP accreditation in counselling specialising in trans issues. Art is my personal and often private passion and my way of expressing my inner most feelings. My particular medium is pastels and oils around portraits and nature.”

Andrew will be submitting color drawings and oil paintings.

Email

Katie Herzog

“Los Angeles based artist Katie Herzog combines art and disjunctive librarianship through a unique cross-disciplinary practice engaging knowledge, narrative, and information culture. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, San Diego in 2005. She studied Library and Information Science at San Jose State University and has participated in numerous international artist residencies including Skowhegan, the Banff Centre, and Program Initiative for Art and Architecture Collaboration. She recently organized a “Queering Wikipedia Editathon” at the Tom of Finland Foundation Library in Echo Park in conjunction with Open Access week.”

Katie will be submitting a sculpture entitled “Literaturwurst (Tom of Finland XXL)”.

Simon Croft

“I’m a trans-man living and working in London. I transitioned in my early 30’s and began making art at roughly the same time, partly to explore and express my own transition and partly to pursue a more creative approach to life generally. My practice often plays on the paradoxes of trans-existence and reflects on my own experiences as a trans-man.

I believe creative works of all kinds play a vital role in broadening the visibility of trans people and in developing a visible trans / gender variant / queer community and culture which values trans-ness.”

Website

Anonymous

“I’m a 22 year old trans man who enjoys beer, sandwiches and crosswords. I can make an origami velociraptor, get halfway through a Rubik’s cube and occasionally dabble in writing and art.”

lSophie Green

“Sophie’s work is influenced by bright colour, the natural world and finding pleasure in the mudane. Her artwork reflects her background in Graphic Design and her love of illustration. Living and working in Liverpool has been a great inspiration for Sophie’s work; ‘There’s never a dull moment living in this city!’

Sophie’s work can currently be viewed at various galleries and exhibitions across the UK. Previous commissions include Children’s Illustration, Character Design, Fashion Illustration and Presentation Visuals. Sophie has produced work for Liverpool’s Go Penguins and Chester’s Rhino Mania Projects. She has also designed and painted many Superlambanana sculptures for private commissions.”

Kelly Nixon

“Hi, I’m Kelly. I live in Belper, Derbyshire. I love Art, Drawing, Fashion, Photography and all things creative. I am currently looking at ways to begin a new career freelancing which I hope will work alongside my own transition. I studied image and fashion styling at Limperts Academy of Design, and I am also fashion editor for Transliving magazine and design and contribute fashion editorial work for the magazine.”

Tumblr

Ralph Francis Fox

“Creative trans man living in Brighton UK, My Transsexual Summer contributor and screen-printing obsessive.”

Fox’s print is hand made on canvas and will be autographed by all of the participants of My Transsexual Summer.

Suzanne Parnell

“Hi, I’m Suzanne. I transitioned 4 years ago whilst working at The Post Office and completed my journey in Montreal two and a half years ago under the expert care of Dr Pierre Brassard – that is if you ever complete your journey! I took early retirement earlier this year and discovered that I could paint a bit after attending a local art course. Now I spend a lot of my time developing my watercolour skills and am growing in confidence. One day I would like to be confident enough to show my work publicly.”

Sara Davidmann

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
