Sloane and Tess fell in love through mutual admiration of each others artwork. They began as peers in a creative community and when the opportunity to collaborate appeared, they discovered they shared many interests and values that led to a quickly deepening friendship. After 9 months of talking every day, Sloane confessed their feelings for Tess in September 2023 and the two started dating for REAL!

For over a year, Sloane flew to visit Tess in the beautiful deserts of Santa Fe as they completed their Master’s degree in art therapy and mental health counseling. As Sloane and Tess started to travel and dance and make art together more freely, they helped each other fully celebrate their authentic queer selves.

Sloane and Tess have built a relationship upon a foundation of deep trust, constant curiosity and adoration of one another, and a passionate love that empowers them every day. They inspire one another in actions, craft, and spirit. Theirs is a love that promises to transform forever, transcending binaries and definition.

Tess and Sloane are so excited to celebrate with their favorite people!
