Hayden Porter, surrealist art
Hayden Porter is a self taught, local Olympia, Transgender artist. originally from Utah, Hayden relocated to Washington seeking a more accepting community and a better life with more opportunity for him and his family. Since arriving in Olympia Hayden has thrown himself into not only his own art, but creating a space for other artists to build a community and thrive.
Hayden's art work has a deep focus in Surrealism and an exploration of the effects of both trauma and healing from it. While drawing and painting have been the main focus of his art, Hayden has also spent many years doing traditional hand beading taught to him by his grandmother.
Samples of his work can be found on his Instagram page
