Artist Statement about the Piece (s) Submitted
Title/Medium: Taste The Rainbow [Mixed media]
“Taste The Rainbow” is a mixed media sculpture created to be a loud and proud representation of the queer joy that sweetens our lives. Even today, as laws are being passed to suppress our joy, we continue to choose love and gather in celebration of our pride. Queer joy is the fuel that feeds so many souls and allows our society to grow with empathy rather than aggression. To enjoy a sweet, colorful life and share it with those who deserve our shine."

A born & raised Floridian, 30 year old Macy Higgins enjoys capturing the sweeter side of life through her vibrant & maximalist art. With an eye for color, a taste for decadence, & a flair for the dramatic, Macy combines an array of nostalgic & contemporary aesthetics & techniques to create a body of work that is so loud, it practically speaks for itself. Macy is primarily self-taught & dedicated most of her 20’s to becoming well-versed in many visual mediums. Some of her more notable works include immersive installations at the Morean Art Center in 2022 and Mize Gallery in 2020 as well as the Strawberry Room installation at Fairgrounds St Pete & designing the 2024 Tampa Lightning Pride Puck.
