The Deaf Sketcher

A banner I designed for an inaugral event at parliament.

A head and shoulder portrait of a woman with a below the ears bob of light brown hair, white glasses, and Deaf rectangular blue ears glancing to her right with a small white bird with blue rectangular ears standing on her shoulder and leaning it's head against her cheek looking in the same direction as the woman.

Communication.
A Deaf woman and a Deaf bird.

Hello. Welcome to my Deaf art website. I am new to website development and Neocities as of April 2025. I will be working on making this a lot less visually boring.

The web site of thedeafsketcher: thedeafsketcher.neocities.org

Head and shoulders portrait of a Deaf woman with blue rectangular ears and gold yellow skin wearing a red and with orange hair superimposed by two abstract hands with a transparent lines pattern.

My hands are the hands of a signer.
They will always say, I love you
no matter how inadequate or broken my love is.
Because if you are deaf
then we are family.
Oppression may lead us to harm one other
But my hands, on behalf of my heart will always say I love you.

My art is about Deaf life. If you are Deaf I hope you see some of your own Deaf life in my art. If you are hearing you will see the Deaf POV here.

A partial portrait of a woman with blue rectangular ears with forehead and right side off the edge of the image. Shoulder length hair wearing a red top.

Looking up close in the mirror.
I do not see blue rectangular ears.
Deaf is scarred into my inner self,
where I try to breathe in this stifling audist place called life.
I will go on choosing what I see
with clarity.
No waiting for allies to recognise.
I will believe, in the self I have become.

A frontal green face and a profile yellow face with two hands in the foreground. On the hands in orange handwriting are statements such as we witness each other and identified by culture.

Language reveals.
Language signed by the hands tells the story.
