Black Artists Featured – Black Lives Matter

It’s Black History Month and we stand with Black People worldwide. We are endeavoring to support Black artists who are creating beautiful images for everyone to color. You can find Black-Owned Etsy Businesses Here.

Supporting Black Artists #BlackLivesMatter to Me!

I recently received 3 gorgeous coloring books from the amazing Black female artist Keisha Becerra from XavierArts.

We also thought her drawing of George Floyd was amazing.

Our featured Black artist Keisha also has some wonderful fantasy coloring sheets from one of my favorite shows, Game of Thrones.

This one is entitled “Love at First Site“

About Artist Dr. Keisha Becerra

As the daughter of two army officers, Keisha traveled to many countries and got to experience the beauty of diversity first-hand. These experiences became the foundation for her artistic inspiration. Keisha started drawing the world around her. Art was never far from her mind, even doodling at work during faculty meetings. Soon Keisha was expanding into zen doodles, portraits, mandalas, and fantasy art.

One afternoon, Keisha’s four-year-old daughter started crying, saying that she was ugly after seeing the move Rapunzel. “My beautiful curly-haired child was comparing her afro- curly hair to Disney’s Rapunzel!. I always told my child she was beautiful, but she’s needed to see it.” That day an idea was formed and began to build momentum, leading to the creation of XavierArts.

On a mission to give her daughter, and anyone feeling pressure to be anything other than themselves, XavierArts creates coloring books, posters, and prints highlighting the beauty of different ethnic groups. Keisha Becerra has gone on to publish several books that provide images of diverse people. At the heart of her company, XavierArts is a powerful message, “Diversity is beautiful.”  Amazon

Tiare Smith Designs

I “met” Tiare Smith a few years ago during one of Tiare’s Lifebook art lessons and she’s just fabulous to learn from. In Lifebook 2021 she used one of her coloring pages as a basis for the lesson which really opened my eyes to the possibility of using my coloring book pages as a launching point for a piece of art. She has 3 packs featured currently including this one which is what our lesson was based on.

Tiare’s quotes inspire me!

“My art reflects the wonderful women (and sometimes men) who informed and continue to inform my life…my mom, neighbors, teachers, friends, 2nd and 3rd mom. Black women. Strong women. Smart women. Beautiful women. Loving women. Do you women.” 

— Tiare.

She has beautiful works of art for sale as well including this gorgeous piece.

Tiare Smith (pronounced Tee-are) is a mixed media artist, art journaler and instructor. Originally from Chicago, now living with her husband in Atlanta.

She has been teaching in the industry for more than 17 years and has enjoyed teaching around the country from the east coast to the west coast, as well as internationally.  Her creations have been featured on HGTV, as well as in numerous magazines and creative blogs. She has designed for DecoArts, Faber-Castell Design Memory Crafts, and other well-known manufacturers.

Art for her is an amazing way to cultivate gratitude and happiness in her life. She believes mindfulness and positive self-talk are a necessary part of the process, as she encourages us to play.  Learn more about her current classes and follow her on social media here.

My go-to colored pencils for neutral tones are my Prismacolors. If you have the full set already then you have all the skin tones needed for all races and colors of skin.

Black Widow Colored Pencils have created a special set for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & People of Color) and we really love them for the color choices which include shades of greens and blues which are in all flesh tones but Prismas are still a softer blending pencil in my opinion.
