About The Creator- My name is Amaranthia Sepia (@emobunnycomic)! I’m a Black, invisibly disabled Art Coordinator and have faced discrimination in the art gallery world due to being a minority and creating unconventional activist artworks. My Mom. Claire Jones, and I, are passionate about developing an accessible virtual art gallery platform for marginalized and disabled women/femmes through our project, “Art & Mind….” In my teens I did solo anti-bullying art exhibits titled “I’m Proud of Who I Am.” to cope with bullying with the help of my Mom, Claire Jones, who is a writer creative, and mental health advocate. We deal with invisible disabilities and face discrimination for our work that highlights social issues. Together, we hope to make "Art & Mind" a platform, so other marginalized women/femmes can have a home for artwork highlighting radical anti-stigma artworks usually shunned by society. With the help of our small team of artists with lived experience of disability and/or chronic illness. See our works: https://amaranthiasepiaartworks.art https://clarityisjustsohip.com

My name is Amaranthia Sepia. I’m a Black, invisibly disabled Art Coordinator and have faced discrimination in the art gallery world due to being a minority and creating unconventional activist artworks. Since 2020 I’ve been involved in developing activist art shows. My Mom, Claire Jones, and I are passionate about developing an accessible virtual art gallery platform for marginalized people, particularly POC, WOC, and disabled creatives through our project, “Art & Mind.” From age 14-16, I did solo anti-bullying art exhibits titled “I’m Proud of Who I Am” to cope with bullying and racial discrimination I faced. I did this with the help of my Mom, who is a writer, creative artist, and mental health advocate. We deal with invisible disabilities and face discrimination, and our life experiences come through in our art, which highlights race, misogyny, mental illness, and domestic violence. Together, we hope to make "Art & Mind" a platform so other POC/WOC/disabled folks can have a home for their own artwork highlighting radical anti-stigma themes often shunned by the art world. With the help of our small team of artists with lived experience of disability and/or chronic illness, we hope to create more of these shows
