Michaela Yearwood-Dan is a London-based artist specialising in painting and ceramics. Yearwood-Dan endeavours to build spaces of queer community, abundance, and joy.

In 2022, she produced her first public mural installation for Queercircle (London, UK). She has participated in a range of fellowships and residencies, including Hauser and Wirth (Somerset, UK), the Palazzo Monti Residency (Brescia, Italy), and Bloomberg New Contemporaries in Partnership with Sarabande: The Lee Alexander McQueen Foundation (London, UK).
