The artist’s first solo exhibit celebrates the romantic relationship between a disabled woman and a transgender man—from its awkward, tentative beginnings to the approach of their upcoming wedding.

Born with the rare genetic disorder, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (aka ‘brittle bone disease’), and a wheelchair-user since the age of six, Athena grew up believing that romantic love was likely never going to be in the cards for her. Likewise, so many of the messages presented to her partner after his transition was that his life was going to be filled with rejection—both romantically and from the society at large.

Through acrylic paintings and digital artwork that was either collaborated on by the artist and her partner or inspired by the journey of their relationship, they tell in their own words an unusual love story filled with colour, light, growth and laughter.

The artist will be on hand on Saturday, August 24th between 10-2pm to welcome visitors into the exhibit. You are welcome to RSVP for free via Eventbrite.
