Mirka Loiselle (also known as Pleasurepunk) is a multidisciplinary artist and arts educator, specializing primarily in illustration, drawing, and painting. Their work straddles the boundary between abstraction and illustration, rooted in themes of pleasure, curiosity, and a tongue-in-cheek exploration of the capabilities of our bodies and brains.
My artwork is a celebration of the radical, transformative power of play, pleasure, and desire. I invite you to get lost in that feeling, and lean in to whatever makes you the wonderful and weird creature that you are.
