About Me
As a lonely, bored kid with no TV (except PBS), an abundance of books, and plenty of paper, art became my salvation. The books, I consumed; they fueled the imagination. The papers I used to create, connecting with the world through my imagination.
Within my head, spin worlds without number, and I channel them onto the page. I’ve always believed that a picture is worth far more than a thousand words—it’s a reflection of the heart and mind. Art allows me to communicate what words can’t. Whether it’s the surreal meeting the everyday, or humor wrapped in symbolism, I create art that makes people stop, think, and feel.
I never expected life to take me on the path it has. While I’ve experienced deep losses and challenges, I’ve also found that art has been my thread through it all. It has allowed me to process, to heal, and to honor the moments and people that have shaped my life. As a transgender adult, my art reflects my journey, including love letters to my past self and prayers for the future. My creativity helps me engage with my inner truth, constantly evolving and discovering new aspects of myself.
And despite everything, my life now is one of joy and gratitude. I am blessed with love, friendship, and abundance. After years of wondering how I would find my way out of sorrow, life has surprised me with beauty, happiness, and meaningful connections. My art is no longer just a way to express grief; it is also a celebration of the present and all the good that surrounds me. It’s how I hold space for the past, envision the future, and savor the beauty of the moment. My name is Ambrosia ZeroOne, and I believe my art makes the world a more beautiful place.
