I have to say there are sooo many amazing BIPOC artists putting there heart, soul and unique creativity out there, that it fills me with joy! There is so much beauty being created, and I want more and more please! This list, which I’m sure will quickly grow, is filled with artists and creators making treasures I want to fill my home with and give to as many people as possible. 

Like I mentioned in the original BIPOC post, this list not only consists of black individuals but several others within in the BIPOC community. This list is very creative and inspiring, it has filled me with endless ideas but so much feeling in the form of art!!

1. Ronni Nicole

Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes. To everyone who was able to snag their spot for my one or more of my Nature Still lifes I’m creating throughout summer – THANK YOU ♥️♥️♥️. I know there are so many questions. I won’t be able to answer them all, but I wrote down the most asked. 🌼Will I be making smaller Ron Nicoles? -yes 🌼When is the next waitlist? – Next year. 🌼Why only during spring/summer? That’s when my garden has flowers. I hope in the future I get to travel to other gardens around the world and create collections, but for now working seasonally gives me time to create with more balance. We’ve been planning these flowers since last year. We are already planning next year’s flowers. Each collection takes a year so I can only have one waitlist per year. Also during the fall and winter I’m working on other creative outlets that I must make time for. 🌼 How to get my artwork after the summer? I will have art in galleries so that my community can go and see them in person, and if Rona chills out maybe I can do a exhibition in my garden before I send them to the galleries. 🌼 When will I have paper reliefs and prints available? This fall. I was going to have them all summer but I just can’t do it. It’s better to lighten the load than add to it. I figured a summer with our new community will give us more time to get to know each other and learn how I work. 🌼 How to purchase? Up until recently, I didn’t talk that much about what artwork I have available. Instagram is a place for me inspire, to journal my work. I figure those who are really interested in purchasing will go to my site and become a subscriber. When I have new artwork available I send it out to my subscribers. A lot of times it’s random because it gives more people an opportunity to snag my artwork. Since I plan to create for the rest of my life, we both have our entire lives to match up. There is no rush. 🌼 Do I offer workshops? I used to and was going to offer people the opportunity to come here and hang out but you know, Rona 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ and I’m asthmatic. I will share as much as possible here. 🌼let me know if there is anything else I missed♥️♥️ 📸 @ona__ella

A post shared by RONNI NICOLE Robinson (@iamronnicole) on

I don’t even know how to describe how much Ron Nicole’s work touches my soul. I first heard about her a few years, but it wasn’t until a month ago that I truly honed in her work. From the start of Spring something has been calling me to appreciate flowers well beyond their growing and blooming stages of lights — focusing on ways of preserving them and then Ron Nicole crossed my path. Her beautiful work is pure art but also a celebratory ode to the power and delicateness of Nature. She grows all her wild blooms and then thoughtfully, and in the moment, creates plaster and clay pieces highlighting the blooms she picks. Her work and walks through the garden soothes me, I need to get my hands on one her pieces. 

2. Nur Ceramics

Ceramics is such a beautiful and ancient art form, it takes skill but also a mindful patience. Nur Ceremics is more than just beautiful ceramics, each piece evokes a sense, an emotion that’ll certainly make a house feel like a home!! Dina Nur Satti makes every piece in her studio, and started on this path as a way to reconnect with her Somali and Sudanese traditions and celebrating the legendary Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt potters of ancient world. Each piece has sophisticated simplicity.

3. Elan Byrd

I’m going to start off by saying that the second I set my eyes on the crazy talented Elan Byrd’s natural fiber art pieces, I became instantly head-over-heels obsessed!! Her work is nothing like I’ve ever seen before, the 3-dimensional textural beauties inspired  ancient dwellings of black ancestors. Each print is created with the intention that whoever chooses to bring a piece into their home it serves as a reminder to prioritize the principles, beliefs, traits, and ideals we aspire in our everyday lives. I LOVE her raffia wall hangings, they absolutely evoke that sense of growth, calm and reflection through an open space. I NEED to have a piece of her beautiful work!

4. Alice Gao

Alice Gao is NYC-based still life, interiors, and travel photographer. I’ve admired and loved her photography work for years, it’s beautiful and softly raw. She has a lovely ability to capture the simplest of things and yet be able to create an enticing story. She has worked with so many well known brands, that I’m sure you have seen her work and not even know it!

5. Michelle Norris Photo // Tropico Photo

Michelle Norris is so much more than a talented and colorfully vibrant photographer, the other half of one the coolest photo studios Tropico Photo, she is an artist making and bringing magic into the world! She’s certainly breaking and making all the rules when it comes to styles and color. If you love color and are instantly captivated by Michelle’s free spirit then you’ll love the collection of shoes she inspired with Charlotte Stone.

6. Tyler Thrasher 

“The world is full of beautiful wonders” and Tyler Thrasher is certainly making it even more beautiful with his amazing talent and art!! Tyler’s inspiration comes first from nature, and then further explores it by combining it with science and art creating truly unique and curious creations. His sketches are unreal, full of life and emotion, he’s a crazy botanist propagating new and beautiful hybrids of plants, and thinking outside the box with his methods of crystallizing insects that have passed giving new life and beauty to them, and even growing opal! His work really is mesmerizing..

7. Isatu Hyde

Isatu Hyde is the in-house ceramicist for the beautiful brand Studio Artificer where she creates beautiful homewares, like gorgeous unique and minimalist vases and lovely bread cloches, which are bread baking pans with a lid that helps for crusty golden loaves — I’m sure all new bread bakers would love!! 

8. Lindsay Adams

View this post on Instagram

| Greetings from my art corner. Just wanted to say hi, and wanted to introduce myself! I’m Lindsay Adams, a DC ( read MD, I know the rules) based and bred (non transplant) Artist and Marketing Consultant. I spend my days improving customer communications for my clients, and lending my time with advocacy and inclusivity initiatives for the disability community and employee resource group. I paint in watercolor, oils, acrylic, and digital mostly. Florals and figures are my current go to’s. I started drawing at 5, and painting at 14 at @holtonarms, and kept the party going at @urichmond with a Minor in Studio Art. I’m passionate about story telling, sharing experiences, and traveling. I studied International Studies: World Politics and Diplomacy and Spanish at @urichmond and have been in Consulting and Art since then! The disability community isn’t represented at enough tables, and as someone living with Cerebral Palsy I’m committed to changing that! I’m so thrilled and blessed that you all are awed by my art, I put my little ole heart into it! Used to paint in heels (tehhehe, see old post); now I’m barefoot but still playing dress up whenever I can, whatever the outing. – With Love, L @acreativedc @blackgirlswhopaint

A post shared by Lindsay Adams (@lindsaybriadams) on

Lindsay Adams is a beautiful artist, but like almost all artists, she is a story teller through art. Her ipaitninheels paintings and illustrations are just beautiful, her sweet words and self-care art at Sweet Harmony are inspiring. 

9. Afton by Palm

I’m obsessed with Afton by Palm’s clay creations, ranging from decor to jewelry her work is not just home decor or fashion, it’s soothing art made from the heart and soul. And she makes small, mindful batches of everything in order to minimize waste! 

10. Emma Make Studio

Emma Hall decided it was time to take her digital patterns and fonts and turn them into prints people can liven up their homes with. I love how her prints are eclectic, colorfully peaceful and minimalist with designs that would make anyone happy. And she comes from Lisbon, Portugal which always makes me happy seeing beautiful brands from Portugal especially from BIPOC! 

11. Lovely Earthlings

Karina Daniel Parris is bringing a bit of beauty to your life with Lovely Earthlings where she draws darling colorful women doing all the happy things they love about life — watering their plants, sipping coffee, relaxing tin the hammock — I love how playful she makes these everyday scenes come to life! 

12. Godly Gorgeous 

Godly Gorgeous is Andrea George’s way of combining her passions of fashion, adventure, style, and religions. Her pieces are creative and inspiring, celebrating positivity and black women.

13. Grain and Knot

Sophie created a brand just for her woodworking passion. Grain and Knot was born from a love of nature, exploration and the need for purpose in creation. It is beautifully tactile, fully functional wooden kitchenware, with each item made from reclaimed timber. Simply gorgeous, give me all the brushes please!

14. 54Kibo

54Kibo founder, Nana Quagraine always loved the unique African items she found on trips back home to Ghana, but after having a hard time easily finding those beautiful designs accessible back in the state she quickly realized how largely under-represented and hard to find these designer craft were. With 54Kibo she’s created a design destination that is unique, beautiful and authentic!

15. Tactile Matter

Tactile Matter and Kenesha Sneed, the creator behind the brand, is art in so many forms! It all evokes that textural tactile sense, whether it’s a painting, an illustration, a print or gorgeous ceramic piece — that are also minimalist colorful wonders. Tactile Matter is surely to be one of your new favorite ceramist and artists.  

16. Waymbul Clay & Wares

Aren’t you glad ceramics is back in style and better than ever, another clay artist making so many lovely ceramic pieces, along with some prints and incense holders, is Aboriginal Australian Meg Croydon of Waymbul Studio. Her new collection is coming soon!

18. Lolly Lolly Ceramics

Based in Columbus, Ohio, graphic designer and ceramicist Lalese Stamps makes innovative and functional designs that are meant to be on display. Her latest project for Lolly Lolly Ceramics is created by Lalese Stamps who makes beautiful, unique and innovative ceramic designs that are also functional in the most coolest of ways. Her mug series with out-of-the-box handles are a piece I would love, and I know so many would love to drink their coffee with this piece of art.

A post shared by Tracie Hervy (@tracie_hervy) on

Tracie Hervy Ceramic’s are signature simple minimalist!! I love the clean, sleek and simple lines, the neutral tones picked out of a modern garden. I think think of vases and plates as cozy minimalism. 

20. Grey Remedy

Grey Remedy is a ceramics studio by Melissa J. Chin where she handcrafts beautiful minimalist designs all made with the intention of bringing a bit of peaceful beauty to everyone’s home!!

21. Naked Clay Ceramics

“Simple to look at, lovely to hold, each item is one of a kind.” That is what Carla Sealey of Naked Clay Ceramic describes her clay pieces and who wouldn’t want that in their home!

Aleisha Ellis’s Utility Objects is exactly why I love pottery and ceramics! Her pieces are beautiful, but they minimal and natural, the very, simple, essence of what makes them stunning pieces that touches your soul and you’ll love to share with others in your home. Each wheel thrown piece, is made to serve a function while still celebrating the raw beauty of clay. Aleisha takes her time making her pieces, over a span of a few weeks, making sure she thoughtfully puts them together like a story.  

24. Pottery By Osa

With all of the shares and support many of our shop favorites have sold out 😲. Many have you have reached our and asked about the next restock so I wanted to provide a brief update. Most of our handmade goods a locally made small batch items and we typically don’t restock. We like to keep the shop fresh and with new styles season to season. Kinda like the old school Zara model we all learned about in business school. But nothing is black and white. At the end of the day we do it for you guys so if we get enough request we will try our best to get more. So best thing is to sign up for our newsletters so you can stay up to date. The other good news is that with all of this we’ve been able to donate 25% of the proceeds to Black Lives Matter LA and Know Your Rights camp. We don’t want the fight to end or believe any of us should let up in what got us here. Keep it going y’all ✊🏾 #amplifymelanatedvoices #amplifyblackvoices

26. Amber Kemp-Gerstel // Damask Love // Yay Day Paper

View this post on Instagram

I’m Black. I wear rainbows. Pretty sure that qualifies me as a POC in the most literal sense of the phrase. . . Today I’m joining a the #sharethemicnow initiative so share my voice and experience with an audience who may have no clue who I am or what I do. Join me over on @thediymommy feed today as I share my story and some interesting tidbits about being Black in the DIY and television industry. Y’all already know I’m an open book …so come learn a new chapter of my journey. We’ll be going live this afternoon at 1pm ET . . Spoiler alert: I move through the world differently and experience my industry differently than most. Fun fact: always assume that you’ll be assigned a makeup artist who will not know how to match your skin tone. Bring your own concealer and foundation to set, or else you’ll end up looking like a chalky version of yourself. Also style your own hair or bring a wig because your natural 4b curls are too confusing for most set stylists.

Damask Love and Yay Day Paper founder Amber Kemp-Gerstel, if you watch NBC’s Making It, then you already know how bright and beautiful Amber is, just like her creations! She was one of my favorite contestants, especially because positivity radiates from everything she creates!

28. UNWRP

Say goodby to boring gift wrap and gifting supplies, because UNWRP is here to make your gifts even more special with their colorful and beautiful selections!

29. Reyna Noriega

View this post on Instagram

Collaboration with @sirsargent for the #emotionpalette with @ateliercologne happy to be apart of this campaign ✨ “freedom is a declaration” We conclude our #emotionpalette series with a message that accentuates the intention of it all — ‘Freedom is a declaration.’ The words by @sirsargent gave the impetus for illustrator @reynanoriega_ to visually explore her take on ‘freedom’. The figures in her artwork stretch out, take up space and spark determined attitudes in the lightness of being, floating boundlessly. Through the imagery, she shares her personal vision: ‘So many times in marginalized communities our ability to just exist is boxed in by the world view and systemic oppression. I dream of a day we can just stretch our wings.’ #ateliercologne #artforacause

A post shared by REYNA NORIEGA 🇨🇺🇧🇸 (@reynanoriega_) on

Reyna Noriega’s superpower is her creativity, and she’s using it and her art to change the world. For Reyna art was always a way to dive deeper, she’s also an author and educator, but it’s the joy that art brings her that allows her to help other heal and find happiness. She channels her culture and experiences as a women into her work, with hopes other woman feel represented and empowered. Her art is a beautiful and colorful celebration of black women. 

30. Stormy Nesbit

Stormy Nesbit is an illustrator bringing black beauty to life in the form of art! I really love her work!

31. bylianarae

Liana Rae, another talented artist creates lovely paintings that honor the uniqueness and beauty of the Black woman. I love how her paintings have an effortless flow that naturally showcase the human body. All are currently sold out, but I’m sure she’ll be working on new pieces! 

32. Dorcas Creates

View this post on Instagram

I've got a few pre-printed A3 size mounted art prints ready to ship. I'd initially planned on selling these at a few markets but for now they're taking up residence amongst my growing plant collection! Prices from £40-£80 will put them up in my Insta stories if you're interested just send me a DM 🥰 . Also super proud of this (mad simple lool) plant pot cover I made! I've been struggling the past few weeks with creating anything tbh so I've been trying to pivot to other areas I've neglected a bit, so sewing more, slowly redecorating my room and cooking a lot more (made my own udon noodles from scratch the other day 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾) . Next on the cooking hitlist are some cakes from @bakedbybenji gorgeous cookbook and randomly I'd really like to recreate some US style biscuits (the buttery scone kind not our UK "biscuits") so if you've got a good recipe lemme know!

A post shared by Dorcas Magbadelo (@dorcascreates) on

Dorcas Creates is another talented artist honoring and celebrating the beauty of black women.

33. Sarah Sahir // Nawaal Illustrations 

There is certainly no shortage of talented black female illustrators, all creating beautiful work celebrating the Black woman, and yet each artist is so different. I love how Sarah Sahir makes earth tones and an-almost muted sunset color palette colorful and bring life to each of her prints for her shop Nawaal Illustrations.

34. YOWIE

View this post on Instagram

A quick introduction for the many new people here — My name is Shannon Maldonado and I am the founder of YOWIE. I am the oldest child of a strong proud Black mother and a first generation Puerto Rican father. Read: Not white (for those asking or wondering). Though many have just discovered us this week, YOWIE is a four year own brand and design studio started online in 2016 and now growing in South Philadelphia. This brand was founded on the idea that art and design can connect people near and far and we exist to collaborate with and amplify unique voices in the design community through our shop and our programming. We refuse to be defined by one thing, we put people and creating timeless products before profit and we act from a place of empathy. That being said YOWIE is a living breathing thing, and a wabi sabi work in progress. As it's light skinned founder I have been afforded a lot of privileges and through this week's conversations (see: My House Beautiful essay as a start) I am empowered to know that we can continue to utilize our platform and opportunities to push the design community forward. I was admittedly afraid to speak up after years of being gaslit by colleagues or having my past jobs threatened but I now understand that my silence was contributing to racism. I am no longer afraid to use my voice. We have received an influx of interest this week and I have been asking these brands and publications the tough, uncomfortable questions about their long term plans to combat racism but it’s just one small step! But enough about me/us because this is way bigger than our little brand. We hope that YOU will continue to fight for equality. Not just to end police brutality but to dismantle systematic racism in every sector. Our parents and grandparents have been fighting for decades and change is long overdue. Black lives not only matter but they deserve to be celebrated and protected at all costs. New friends, thank you for sharing space with us and to our day ones WE LOVE THE HELL OUT OF YOU. Let’s go!👊🏾

Just like YOWIE’s IG says, “we’re a lot of things”…that they are, a lot of crazy creative and talented design work!
