About THE ARTIST
BACKGROUND
Hi, I’m Dantae Tulloch—a Jamaican-born abstract artist now living in Canada. My journey in art began as a deeply personal response to life’s challenges and evolved into a vibrant expression of identity, resilience, and storytelling.
I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and in 2016, I began my transition from female to male—a transformative period that shaped not only who I am but also the way I approach my art. During this time, I lost many close connections and struggled with feelings of isolation. Art became my sanctuary, allowing me to process my emotions and explore my identity.
Today, my work is recognized for its dynamic use of colors and textures, often resembling fast-moving astral forms in space. I integrate white solid lines as my signature, symbolizing clarity, hope, and connection amidst the chaos of life. My art reflects the complexities of mental health, identity, and the beauty of transformation, offering viewers an opportunity to connect with their own journeys.
Beyond painting, I am passionate about using my platform to advocate for self-expression and mental health awareness. Each brushstroke is a reminder of the strength it takes to embrace change and live authentically.
Whether through exhibitions or collaborations, I aim to break barriers in the art world and inspire others to find healing and power in creative expression.
