Michaela Yearwood-Dan

Michaela Yearwood-Dan (b. 1994, London, UK) creates paintings, works on paper, ceramics, and installations that endeavor to build spaces of community, joy, and abundance. Her work blends influences like Blackness, queerness, femininity, healing rituals, and carnival culture. Using various media, she incorporates botanical motifs and personal reflections within abstract forms and heavy paint drips. Whether in large paintings or smaller ceramics and works on paper, her art often reflects a welcoming, and inviting atmosphere. Rejecting rigid identities, Yearwood-Dan explores creating spaces that allow for unlimited and unbounded ways of being.
