About the Artist
My name is Emijah Jones (Mijah) and I am a college junior attending the University of Northern Iowa double majoring in Graphic Design & Spanish.
​
I am an aspiring artist in which I mostly paint black figures. I combine the unique experiences of blackness with abstract emotions. Furthermore, within womanhood there are emotions that tie to black women's strength, patience, and resilience that I am learning to give homage to.
​
Furthermore, I am slowing forming my artistic voice within graphic design. Many of my designs reference my own handwritten fonts and hand drawn icons. And I lean to embracing manual processes in a very computerized world. This is also where I provide a space for bilingual speakers to see work in more than one language, and I am finding ways to appreciate Spanish outside of spoken word experiences.
​
As an art student, I am always growing and exploring more paths that stem from my creativity. And I look forward to where my artistic endeavors will lead me.
