About the Artist
Hailing from rural Vermont, Chyenne Rielly is accustomed to glamorizing the obscene things found in the deep dark woods. Chyenne’s emotive artwork invites you to embrace both the imagination of your childhood and the adult forbidden by materializing the complex struggle that is surviving the mundane.
Their illustrative paintings often explore the themes of mental health and queer identity through whimsy, self-portraiture, and satire. In May of 2022, Rielly earned a Bachelor Degree of Fine Art in painting from Maine College of Art & Design with honors. Nowadays when not fantasizing about riding a magic cow through spacetime, you can probably find Chyenne in their Portland-based home studio listening along to a King of the Hill marathon while they sketch out their latest delusions.
