Beauty, Boldness, and a Bit of Trouble
Gareth Kelaart
Model | Artist | Rulebreaker
Melbourne, Australia
Gareth Kelaart is here to turn up the heat at the Deaf Queer Festival. A proud Melbourne-based model, artist, and unapologetic troublemaker, Gareth isn’t afraid to shake things up – and look incredible doing it.
In 2022, Gareth made international headlines after winning the Mr Deaf International title… only to have it snatched away due to his unapologetically sexy social media presence. But controversy only fuels his fire. Whether he’s sculpting bodies out of clay or interpreting for pop icons like Dua Lipa and Kesha at Mardi Gras – yes, wearing barely anything – Gareth brings fierce energy and undeniable charisma to everything he touches.
Beyond the spotlight, Gareth’s softer side shines through in his love for his two adorable black pugs, Orlando and Aretha. But don’t let the cuteness fool you – when Gareth hits the stage, he’s all power, passion, and a bit of cheek.
Prepare to be seduced.
