Design by Susanna Hayward featuring art from Cathy Charles, Lo Harris, and Dorcas Magbadelo

If you, like me, are always on the hunt for your next great art find, you've come to the right place. While it's fun now and then to hop on a trendy home decor website, pick a basic print, and be on your way, I'd argue there's no better feeling than buying a meaningful piece by an up-and-coming creative to support the person who created it. In light of the current protests going on in our country, it's important to commit yourself to investing in Black creatives, now and always. Ahead, 16 Black female artists whose talents range from mixed media to graphic design. Get ready to make some more room on your walls; I know I am.
