 “Care is not separate from my work,

it is the medium.”

Across his practice, Drew Hixson explores art as an act of care. Whether working through portraiture, abstraction, or botanical forms, his work centers on psychological presence, memory, and the quiet labor of attention. Hixson treats making as a relational process, using gesture, material, and repetition to hold space for vulnerability, healing, and connection over time.

Drew Hixson is a queer, trans, gender-fluid artist whose paintings draw from his lived experience in recovery, her sex-positive life, and their experiences with sex work. Their gender moves through manhood, womanhood, and the spaces between and beyond—a circle of possibility rather than a fixed line.

Through beauty, intimacy, and cunning visual storytelling, Hixson invites viewers to question who gets to be desired, respected, and seen. Their advocacy emerges through her work: a painting can seduce the eye while quietly unsettling assumptions about gender, sexuality, addiction, and worth. His practice makes room for pleasure, vulnerability, and self-determination without reducing a person to a diagnosis, an identity, or a source of stigma.
