The Two Eves

2026 · Oil paint and pastel on canvas board

The Two Eves holds two figures in a moment of quiet intimacy, away from the conventions that so often filter lesbian desire through the male gaze. Cady Fick treats closeness as something lived rather than performed: soft, still and grounded in mutual presence. Working in oil and pastel, she gives the relationship emotional weight without spectacle. The painting affirms queer connection as ordinary, complex and fully human, allowing tenderness itself to become an act of visibility.
