Ebony H. Flag

Ebony was born and raised in the north eastern part of the United States, from an early age she showed an interest in the arts by seeking to emulate the creative abilities of her parents. What was once simply a hobby, soon became Ebony’s passion. After taking a few art classes in high school, Ebony would go on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the renowned Moore College of Art and Design located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While a student at Moore, Ebony honed her gifts by focusing her studies on Illustration. Adding to an already expansive skill set, she minored in graphic design. Ebony’s creativity is not confined to illustration or graphic design, as she is just as gifted in poetic writing. Her rhythmic writings are as vivid and captivating as the illustrations she creates. 

It is difficult for anyone who encounters Ebony’s gifts to deny their presence in her life. As a result of her talents, Ebony has been honored to serve as a contributor to the Princeton Theological Seminary - Lenten Devotional (2015-2017). Ebony’s passions do not end at the tip of a pen or paintbrush; she exhibits the same level of commitment in wanting to see others’ lives made ‘better’. Over the past decade, Ebony has worked tirelessly as an educator, youth counselor and an overall community builder. The same passion that has driven her to pursue better for others has led her to embark on this entrepreneurial endeavor that is, EHF Creations with the goal of  engaging the world, honoring the Divine and others through fine art. 

From Ebony:

I am a liberation artist. Some may ask what does that mean? For me, the art I make is created to bring a greater awareness to matters of social justice, and to help break social stereotypes.

The goal of my art is not only to inspire but amplify the voices of the marginalized, giving them space to tell their narrative. Oppression is rooted in robbing others of their agency and voice. Liberation, on the other hand is the work of giving agency and voice back; I believe art can and does play a part in making this happen.
