Arlo Van Liew is a senior at Garfield High School. As a trans masculine person, Arlo uses their art to explore their identity. Arlo says the following about their art:
“I would describe my art as a stylized exploration of my life. I explore topics of gender, queerness, privilege, mental health and perception of self. Along with these topics, much of my work are recreations of dreams I've had. My preferred mediums include gouache, sumi ink, clay and pen.”

“Removing a face doesn’t remove the identity of the image, on the contrary it unlocks it. With these initial constraints removed opportunities are fertile for abstracting, fracturing and multiplying an images “identity”. The result is a multi dimensional conversation opening up new and wider lanes for both the image and the observer” – Jo Bazuka

“Artists, by their free expressions, encourage others to be free. This is the quality that makes works of art enduring.” - Marty Rubin

Founded in 2016, the Lavender Rights Project advances a more just and equitable society by providing low-cost civil legal services and community programming centered in values of social justice for trans and queer low-income people and other marginalized communities.
The Lavender Rights Project aims to combat the gatekeeping of legal knowledge and mobility by building community-based familiarity with legal processes and preparing community members to effectively advocate for themselves and their loved ones.
