12" x 15" poster featuring art from our new packet artist, Amaranthia Sepia.

"Collards" is inspired by our Moses Smith Yellow Cabbage Collard. Part of the Amaranthia Sepia Poster Collection

Amaranthia Sepia is an African-American and Caribbean (Bajan) invisible disabilities activist and multi-hyphenate creative focused on illustration, graphic art, and character design. Her mediums are ink and digital art. Amaranthia Sepia feels it's critical to use her voice to facilitate the representation of marginalized voices. She is also a self-taught art director with a focus on minority-inclusive, unconventional activist artworks.

As a Buddhist Black, invisibly disabled woman with C-PTSD, panic disorder, and agoraphobia, she highlights unconventional experiences through art with a spiritual touch, often inspired by nature.  Amaranthia and Mom, Claire Jones, co-founded Sista Creatives Rising (SCR), helping marginalized artists through virtual disability-accessible events and microgrants.”

“This particular variety has the classic scotch bonnet “hat” shape, but is unique for its larger fruits that ripen to reddish brown, and its smoky flavor. Chocolate Scotch Bonnet peppers also have more heat than the yellow variety.”
