Vann Damm
Vann Damm is owned by a 25 year old auDHD artist with endometriosis, conective tissue disorder, joint disorder, and immunocomprimisation. Vann Damm specializes in stimming jewelry.
Scarlett Stitch Studios
Disability has shaped Scarlett's relationship to their art. It wasn't until after their hysterectomy this year that they were properly diagnosed with endometriosis and PMDD and it was especially difficult as a trans person. Scarlett has also navigated mental health struggles including bipolar, depression, and anxiety, and developed chronic back and hand pain that heavily impacted them mentally and physically.
Going through what they did to learn their limits and push them to be an artist despite it gave them the patience to relearn their new boundaries.
