Meet Clint Frederic Wiater (he/him, they/them), a San Francisco-based queer artist and artivist, masterfully navigating multiple mediums to reflect and respond to the world around us. Originally from the Midwest and now in the Bay Area, their artistic evolution has seen them experiment and work deeply with encaustic techniques, acrylics, and oils, all the while centering their work around queer identity, spirituality, and the tumultuous state of national and global affairs.

Their art, particularly their series on queer identity and cityscapes, serves as a profound commentary on contemporary issues, drawing from their own experiences as a non-binary individual navigating today's volatile society. Wiater's encaustic pieces, developed meticulously over the years, shows their unwavering commitment to using art as a vehicle for change and understanding. They weave their personal narrative, activism, and artistic expression together seamlessly, offering viewers a chance to engage with works that are as thought-provoking as they are visually striking.

Wiater's intersectional identity, encompassing their queer, non-binary status, and their background as a returning adult student in art and psychology. Which provides a rich, multi-dimensional perspective that infuses their work with depth, complexity, and authenticity. 

Step into Wiater's world during the SF Open Studios, where the convergence of queer identity, artistic innovation, and social commentary promises a unique and immersive experience.
