Puma Love’s watercolours bring queer tenderness into conversation with ecological care, social justice and everyday acts of resistance. A self-taught artist, lavender farmer and former attorney, Love works with a medium often associated with delicacy, using its fluid washes and luminous colour to address urgent political and environmental concerns. His images move between landscape, protest, community and dream, holding softness and defiance in the same frame.

Rather than separating art from life, Love treats painting as a way of bearing witness. His work speaks to queer survival, trans solidarity, anti-war protest, climate grief and the fragile beauty of the natural world. The results are intimate yet public: images made from feeling, but directed towards collective attention.

For The Queer Museum, Love’s practice offers an expansive model of queer art-making—rooted not only in identity, but in care, conscience and the refusal to look away.
