The project of muralist and interdisciplinary artist Elayna Sturm, The Fantasies of Youth combines elements of land, queerness, spirituality and personal mythology in the hopes to buoy hearts and souls alike. Intertwining historical contexts with their own lineage, lived experiences, and yearning — FOY inspires people to reach for one another, get to know themselves, and honor Earth’s gifts through awe and aliveness. In addition to their artistry, Elayna Sturm is a lover of singing, a friend of trees, and a hopeful curious realm traveler. The Fantasies of Youth offers a variety of merchandise as stickers, cards, and prints, in addition to original artwork such as quilted wall hangings, quilt block apparel, painted works, and murals. Find more of FOY at their website elaynasturm.com, on instagram at @thefantasiesofyouth, and via their newsletter elaynasturm.substack.com.
