The Fantasies of Youth

The Fantasies of Youth by artist Elayna Sturm translates dreams into something tangible. Via intersectional research and multimedia artwork, they channel stories of a personal mythology. Elayna’s work combines elements of land, queerness, and spirituality that together reach across the realms. Intertwining historical contexts with their own lineage, lived experiences, and yearning, Elayna hopes to buoy hearts and souls alike. They hope their work inspires people to reach out to one another, get to know themselves, and honor Earth’s gifts through awe and aliveness.

Elayna’s mediums range across murals, visual art, fiber arts, and creative writing. Elayna is a lover of singing, a friend of trees, a hopeful curious witch, realm traveler, and an interdisciplinary artist. Born and raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts, with ties to the Bay Area of California and the Olympic forests of Washington state— Elayna now resides in Western Massachusetts.

Elayna is available for commission work, indoor murals. You can reach out to Elayna — and or keep up with their work— via their newsletter, website, instagram, or email.
