Shady Kimzey is a queer, non-binary artist based in North Carolina. Their work often depicts themes of intuition, symbolism, surrealism, society, and the natural world, while drawing inspiration from pop culture and the future.

Art is their healing practice, contributing to their mental well-being. Through their classes, they guide new artists and beginners in creative methods including collage, drawing, painting, and writing. Shady's aim is to foster artistic self-expression.
Shady enjoys thinking about pop culture and the future, and working with surrealism, absurdism, abstract art, and art that deals with culture and society. Making art is a healing practice that contributes to their mental health.
