User:DeanRheims

Hi my name is Dean Rheims and I am an Artist from the Irish Traveller community (Irish: an lucht siúil, meaning "the walking people" also known as Ridirí an Bhóthair meaning "knights of the road"). I am also from the Scottish Gypsy Traveller (Nawken) community.

My art and my ethnicities are greatly intertwined. I use my art to convey the message that ultimately we as Gypsy and Traveller people/communities are not the stereotypes that the mainstream media curates, in fact we are so much more.

I depict my people in futuristic, utopian and fantasy environments, not just to inspire my fellow community members but also to show the world that we are more than just the stereotypes

To see us as more than the stereotypes. #GypsyTravellerFuturism https://www.deviantart.com/deanrheims
