Uma Breakdown

Gateshead
I’m Uma, a disabled artist, writer, and award winning game designer interested in animals, horror, and play. Everything I make is about some combination of love, grief, hallucination, and an excess of joy.

I’m Uma, a disabled artist, writer, and award winning game designer interested in animals, horror, and play. Everything I make is about some combination of love, grief, hallucination, and an excess of joy. My practice is orientated around images and text, manifesting as animation, drawing, games, and publishing. With Belladonna Paloma I make video games about the divine and occult providence of transfemme existence. I live in Gateshead, UK.
