MISSION:
To inspire others and to do artwork that uplifts and brings a little more light into the world. My goal is to help heal others with art just like it healed me after I was bullied. When people view my art I want them to sincerely feel the messages I am conveying through my characters. I like to create artwork that has deep humanistic themes encouraging others to be more optimistic,tolerant and respectful to one another and the world we live in.

This portfolio is a compilation of earlier works. It is Amaranthia's 'wolf period.' She has now moved on to foxes but there is something about this collection that draws you in. The quality is very low because she was using an app on her iPad and it did not produce great images. She was around eleven years old and you can already see her ability to create concepts in her work.

Amaranthia blogs once a month for Iamthatgirl.com. I Am That Girl is an organization that empowers young girls and women through inspirational writings on their site and through their I Am That Girl chapters around the country.
Amaranthia decided, with the support of her parents, to volunteer her writings to help inspire and empower teen girls like herself. After recovering from years of trauma, due to bullying in public school, she decided to use her voice and art to push back against intolerance and prejudice. Creating these monthly blogs and accompanying art works allows
her to develop new concepts for each piece of writing.
The illustrations below include links to her blogs on iamthatgirl.com.
