Floating by the Porthole BL (2024) Painting by Troy Wilson-Ripsom

Born in semi-rural Nevada in 1969, I moved to CA in 1980. I've been abused, homeless, addicted, infirmed, struck by an automobile, and I am still here. My challenges have been the roots of my blessings and I am grateful for my life experiences and the people in my life. My art is my expression of the core of my being at a moment in time. My art is as varied as my moods because it is genuinely me in the moment it is created. When you add in the issues of depression and loss of the last few years, there have been a wealth of lows upon which I have drawn. Conversely, there have been joys as well and those find expression as well in my art.

As I feel it is the duty of artists to bring good into the world a percentage of all print sales will be donated to charity. Causes supported: Ukraine Relief, LGBTQIA+ Support and Allyship, Suicide Prevention, Mental Health Awareness and Support, Homelessness Prevention and Support
