This body of work by Joey DeRuy is a reimagining of art history with the inclusion of neurodiversity, LGBTQ, intuition, and self-expression that are accepted as part of what makes society balance in light. DeRuy’s work connects personal experiences with the wonders of the universe, inspired by ideas pulled from quantum science and the nature of particles.
Joey’s work dives into how the hidden forces around us shape our lives - reflecting the complexities of being human. Joey DeRuy started drawing to communicate and cope with the challenges of childhood trauma. The chaos of 2020 pushed him to look inward, helping him recognize patterns of behavior he had developed to navigate an overwhelming world.

DeRuy’s journey has led to greater clarity and freedom, guiding him through his experiences with trauma, a later in life neurodiversity diagnosis, and the search for self-understanding. I began using art to grapple with ADHD and dyslexia whileprocessing past traumas. Now, he aims to create art that resonates with others who feel alone in their struggles.
“I want my work to offer a sense of connection and empowerment, inviting viewers to explore my own identities” says Joey DeRuy.
By sharing his story and the lessons learned along the way, Joey DeRuy hopes to foster a space in which people can find comfort and realize they are not alone. Through his art, DeRuy celebrates our shared humanity and the strength that comes from being vulnerable - encouraging everyone to reflect on what it means to exist in a world full of possibilities.
