Let's Bring Industrious Girls to Life!

At Industrious Girls, our mission is to inspire girls to be industrious and creative, to dream big, and think even bigger!  Our Industrious Girls paintings (and other items coming soon) represent the brilliance and beauty that our girls possess both inside and out. Our mixed media paintings depict Industrious Girls with varied skin tones and interests.

My daughter and I launched Industrious Girls, because of the lack of images that reflected girls of color.  I wanted my daughter to see images of herself, her cousins, and her friends in paintings. The opportunity for our product is great, our Industrious Girls images are customizable and will appeal to girls from various backgrounds and cultures.  

Each painting, on gallery-wrapped canvas, is an original work of art/heart. My daughter and I listen to music and spend hours creating scenes and contexts for our girls to live their best life! On trips to the beach, my daughter and I find shells and collect sand to add to many of our paintings. As we create, we step back and think "What else would our girls want in this scene? What outfits would our girls wear? We create or accent our girls' outfits with fabrics such as...African wax print, tulle, satin, and denim!  

We are in the process of bringing our Industrious Girls to life as plush dolls.  We are seeking $50,000 and will use the funds to manufacture the dolls, market, and bring to market.   Non-anonymous Donors who contribute $1000 to our campaign, after development and production, will receive an Industrious Girls painting and doll.   

All donors, we thank you for your support.  We are so excited about bringing our Girls to Life!
