Female artist/urban muralist and fashion Uc Sepia is best known for her graffiti style depicting fun, free spirited and seductive in nature girl characters called ozjuahzians, whom live in a made up fantasy world. Her characters are very distinctive in appearance with their colored striped nylons, white face's, long spider lashes and pink color around the eyes they represent the many different personalities in society, and possess human/animalistic qualities and titles such as Queens, Warriors and Guardians. They also draw energy from bizarre power animals such as okras, phisazians and widaudi's. The world in which they all live in is called Capsule Oz.
They originally emerged from a sketch and have since evolved to the medium of spray paint to walls around the Denver Metro Area since 2007. It is an accomplishment as a woman graffiti artist because the graffiti art scene is mostly male dominated.
She also dabbles in fashion as well, designing unique couture lingerie and designs. She feels that women should embrace womanhood and feel sexy doing it. Seymon was a lead fashion designer for last year’s fashion show competition called “Steam Punk” and managed and created wardrobe for 9 female models. She graduated from The Art Institute of Colorado in 2010 with an Associates in Graphic Design and a Bachelor's Degree in Interactive Multi Media Web Design. Although with 2 degrees under her belt painting has always been a self-taught skill in which she acquired during her younger years.
