For Chyenne Rielly, every painting feels like a diary entry gone off the rails.

Chyenne's illustrative paintings often explore themes of mental health and queer identity through self-portraiture. In 2022, Chyenne earned a Bachelor's Degree of Fine Art in Painting from Maine College of Art & Design. Nowadays Chyenne hangs around their home studio listening to true-crime podcasts while sketching out their latest visions of docile shock and awe.
