Michaela Yearwood-Dan (1994- ) is a British artist working across painting, works on paper, ceramics, and site-specific mural and sound installations. Her work focuses on Blackness, queerness, femininity, healing rituals, and carnival culture. Her large paintings and smaller, intimate ceramics embody an abstract visual language with lush and bright colors. She often engages colors and materials for their symbolic associations—from the hints of the oranges, pinks, purples, and blues of the lesbian and bisexual pride flags mingling through the compositions to the queer histories. Within the paintings, she writes lines of text—pulled from song lyrics, poetry, or even her diary. Yearwood-Dan received her BA in Fine Art Painting from the University of Brighton in 2016.
