I wanted to paint a trans man since in our country right now trans lives and rights are at risk. It takes bravery for trans people just to exist. I asked for photo submissions from strangers online and chose to paint Abelardo. I am honored to share my painting of him and show the quiet dignity of this brave man living in his truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e***\u003cbr\u003eEden was born in SoCal and raised in Great Britain, the Middle East, and the U.S.. She was influenced by her nomadic childhood, which is reflected in her wide range of styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe feels a deep spiritual connection to her artisan ancestors. The powerful simplicity and richness that she strives to achieve in her work echoes the Mexican-American and Huichol cultures of her heritage. Her palette has typically Mexican colors. Her artwork typifies the bold aesthetic of popular Chicano art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEden lives and works in Los Angeles with her family and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more of Eden's work here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cactusgalleryla.com\/collections\/eden-folwell-for-cactus-gallery\" title=\"https:\/\/cactusgalleryla.com\/collections\/eden-folwell-for-cactus-gallery\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/cactusgalleryla.com\/collections\/eden-folwell-for-cactus-gallery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cactus Gallery LA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48410856390878,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/6854\/files\/739437217_27872646262424322_8785997282141872076_n.jpg?v=1783650421","url":"https:\/\/cactusgalleryla.com\/products\/12-la-valiente-the-brave-one-by-artist-eden-folwell","provider":"Cactus Gallery LA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
