About the Artist:
Hi, my name is Zofia Sheesley. I am 23 years old. I am a small town queer artist, designer, crafter, and writer. I have been creating art for as long as I can remember and fell in love with writing as soon as I could pick up a crayon and scribble out my name. My passion for graphic design came later. I believe that art - in every aspect - is what I was made to do with my life so this is my attempt to make that my reality.
About the Art & Design:
My art is a representation of who I am, of course, as all art tends to be a representation of the artist. But my art is cluttered, yet organized, colorful yet has a scheme, and imperfect yet, precise. It creates a timeline of my life and artistic pursuits. My love for design started pretty recently, I didn't know much about the digital side of art and design besides some collages and picture edits I had made on my phone. I got my first graphic design job in January of 2020, at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in the Center for Student Engagement, and fell in love with it immediately. The order, creativity, precision, and flow of design pleases everything in me.
About the Writing:
These writings are annoyingly vulnerable and tragically real. I have written and rewritten these stories more times than I can count. I have put my heart, soul, and every ounce of love I have into these stories for your enjoyment, my own personal growth, and for prosperities sake. May you get as much out of this as I do. For me, these are my very being ripped out of my body and placed into words on a page for you to absorb.
Final Thoughts:
The welcome page of this site says that these are “the tangible manifestations of my mind” and that couldn’t be more true. So, take in my manifestations and absorb what you can from them. Love them as I have and hold them dearly as I have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Zofia Rose Sheesley
