Kristian McElroy: Emerging Artist

Kris McElroy is a 35 year old self taught artist, author, trauma survivor, and advocate living independently with multiple disabilities in Maryland. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Multidisciplinary Human Services. The arts has been a source of coping, healing, self discovery, and empowerment for Kris across his life. Specifically, as a mixed black transgender man with differing abilities and trauma survivor, engaging in the creative expressions has allowed Kris to communicate about himself and his experiences in a way he wouldn’t be able to otherwise. He passionately serves and connects through the arts and advocacy work seeking to promote change through addressing the root causes and issues related to topics around disabilities, race, identity, mental illness, poverty, trauma, social justice, health and wellness.

A special thank you goes out to these people from a special place in my heart. I am hoping this website will allow me to share my artwork with others and expose myself as an emerging artist. All of what you see here are original pieces of art owned by me. Thank you for being on this artistic journey with me.
