Briar Boehm (@beforeviolets) is a queer illustrator, beta & sensitivity reader, and storyteller focused on the folkloric, gothic, and whimsical. Their artwork is heavily inspired by their love of theatre, fairytales, and their Jewish heritage. Briar is currently based in Edinburgh, UK, where you can find them haunting cemeteries, reading queer fantasy books, and being crushed by their ever-growing tea collection.
Briar has a BA in Directing/Stage Management from Pace University and an MA in Shakespeare Studies from King’s College London/Shakespeare’s Globe.
