Pia-Paulina Guilmoth lives and makes art in rural central Maine. Pia is a working class transgender woman who lives with her girlfriend and two cats in a small tree-house-like space inside of a very old shoe factory on the bank of the Sandy River. In her free time she likes to lay in the dirt, shoot guns, hold her friends, and trespass into abandoned houses and barns. Pia’s work is foremost about harnessing beauty as a form of resistance to a world full of terrors. While making art she is thinking about class, gender, euphoria, dysphoria and whatever else is happening in her life at that given moment.
