Thayer is a queer, Midwestern artist and practicing witch. Their love for art began in the illustrated children’s books they grew up with, introducing a plethora of whimsical imagery, fairytales, and stories. Thayer works mainly in pen & ink, watercolor, and with tea and plant pigments; pulling imagery from their dreams, classical mythology and folklore, floriography, and literature. Their body of work is defined by precise, energetic hatchwork with some cut-out elements that bring their fantastical visions to life.
