Heather May Gainey is a Hull / London based multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, and photographer. She graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2021 with a degree in Fine Art.

Her work operates as a site for the embodiment of emotional and sensory interiority, the romantic, and the hyper-empathic. Exploring identity, queerness, and neurodiversity, her practice examines the body as a vessel for relational memory — carrying the tender, the quiet exchange, and the intimate reflective self, often navigating subjects that subvert the traditional heteronormative gaze.
