We’re honored to partner again with the National Museum of Women in the Arts<\/a> <\/strong>(NMWA) in their Women’s History Month initiative to help you name #5WomenArtists. Thanks for joining us each week this March to get to know more female creators. Explore each featured artist here<\/strong><\/a> to add their names to your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Mother Earth to motherhood, these female artists gain inspiration from a wide range of passions and backgrounds. From surreal photography to rainbow watercolors to faceless angels, they offer countless ways to add a bit of magic, pops of color, or inspiring vibes to your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While women continue to be underrepresented and underpaid in the art industry<\/a>, there are signs of progress on the horizon, including the fact that women in the arts are found not to experience the \u201cmotherhood penalty\u201d<\/a> \u2014 AKA lost or stagnant income after children. Continuing our partnership with NMWA, we\u2019re excited to introduce you to some more of the many female artists we are proud to partner with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want to get lost in mythological worlds or find inspiration through motivational typography, keep scrolling to discover a new favorite creator to help you breathe life into your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
