Not to boast, but we have a pretty stellar art collection.
JK, we feel pretty good boasting about it. Our permanent collection has over 1,500 pieces of two-dimensional artwork from over 50 artists! The work covers a whole range of styles, mediums, and diverse subject matter. We love each and every one of the artists in our collection, and appreciate any opportunity to talk about how cool they are.
At IPaintMyMind, we think that it’s super important to uplift and support working artists. For us, this means first and foremost, paying them. Upfront. It’s simple, but as artists will tell you, not everyone gets it. Art is work, and artists should get paid!
We also want to bring their creative vision and work to everyone in our orbit. In this article, we highlight 14 incredibly cool women and nonbinary artists in our collection. We hope that you’ll check out their websites, and maybe even purchase some prints!
And, if you’re an artist who is interested in having your work featured in our permanent collection, think about submitting your work! We are prioritizing the work of women and nonbinary artists.
Michelle Chandra is a wonderful artist from the San Francisco Bay area who runs her own design company called Dirt Alley Design.

You can see different types of symmetry throughout her work. Her drawings invoke the universal joy of pattern recognition and mimic shapes from the organic world.

Bria Corranda is a Chicago-based artist who works in digital media to create breathtakingly expressive images of Black history and resilience. Although her work has all of the stylistic qualities of pencil, charcoal, and oil painting, all of her pieces are done digitally! She is inspired by Black culture, whether it be through music, style, or other avenues. Bria also draws strength from her mother, who is an artist as well. She has also been impacted heavily by the events of the summer, and the ongoing struggle against systemic racism.

She founded her own art and design firm, called Create Dangerously in 2014, where she sells her work.
