Brittany (They/Them), aka Ebony, founder of Ebony Vision Art, is a Black, Queer, disabled Afrocentric visual artist and workshop facilitator. Their work is meant to be a source of healing for folks witnessing and participating in their work.
Ebony Vision Art, as a business, hosts workshops and sells prints of Brittany’s artwork. Art sold, while intended for everyone, centers Black people in the representation of various concepts, emotions, and experiences hoping to allow marginalized folks to feel represented in a unique way.
‘Ebony’, as part of the business name, quickly became a nickname for the artist.
"My art is many things. It's an outlet, invitation, source of represenation, and offering both to myself and community to pause and feel our feelings. All of my art is charged with the intention of pause and release for the recipient as that is what creating the art has done for me".

Here are some answers to the questions received the most about my business and artistic process.
Sorry! I am not taking commissions at this time.
At this time, the only size available for prints is 11x14in.
I draw artistic inspiration from both my personal life and from the wisdom of those I am in relationship with. I tend to draw feelings and find joy in using my art to encourage radical vulnerability and reflection.
My artistic voice is me expressing both how I experience this world, and how it experiences me. I grew up having to fit my existence into an environment that constantly erased me. As a result, I couldn’t identify with how I looked or how anyone who looked like me looked. This was because in the PNW, at the time I was growing up, Black kids didn’t get romance or nuance. We didn’t get to be soft, sad, frustrated, beautiful, handsome, adored, respected, or seen.
There wasn’t room for our existence. So, my art is life experiences and human emotions with a Black person on the cover. My art is not only a recalibration of what Blackness is to me, but also a way to make the emotions we, humans, may not always have a direct word for, an image.
