Celebrating Culture, Identity, and Legacy Through Luxury Art: The Vision Behind Diversity+
It all begins with an idea.
At Diversity+, we are redefining what it means to create art that reflects the diversity and richness of our world. As a luxury brand specializing in bespoke oil portraits and multicultural coloring books, our mission is to celebrate culture, heritage, and identity through every brushstroke and page.
The Journey to Creating Diversity+
The inspiration behind Diversity+ began with a deeply personal journey. As a mother to a biracial son, Emilio, I struggled to find art that truly reflected his identity. This challenge led to the creation of Diversity+, where cultural representation and inclusive storytelling are at the heart of everything we do.
Our luxury oil portraits are custom-crafted to honor the unique heritage and legacy of each subject. We believe that great art goes beyond aesthetics—it tells a powerful story and preserves identity for generations. Each portrait is carefully designed to create a timeless masterpiece, perfect for private collectors, luxury estates, and corporate spaces.
Multicultural Coloring Books for All Ages
In addition to our fine art portraits, we offer multicultural coloring books designed for children and adults. With over 99+ books in our collection, we aim to make diversity the norm, not the exception. Our books are an educational tool that empowers readers of all ages to explore anti-racism, diversity, and cultural representation. They provide an opportunity for families, educators, and institutions to foster inclusive dialogue and inspire the next generation of creative thinkers.
Our Commitment to Inclusivity
At Diversity+, our work is a commitment to inclusivity and positive change. We believe that art, in all its forms, has the power to spark conversation and bring communities together. Our creations are designed to make everyone feel seen and celebrated, whether it’s through the bold brushstrokes of a luxury portrait or the vibrant pages of our coloring books.
By honoring culture and legacy through art, we are not only creating beautiful pieces for collectors but also challenging norms and promoting a more inclusive, representative world.
Why Choose Diversity+?
When you choose Diversity+ for your luxury oil portrait or multicultural coloring book, you are investing in art that matters. Our portraits tell stories of heritage, legacy, and personal identity, ensuring that each piece is not just a work of art but a timeless heirloom.
Whether you are a collector, an institution, or someone looking to showcase diverse cultural representation, Diversity+ offers a unique blend of luxury and inclusivity.

My Favorite Tools for Creating Multiracial Art
It all begins with an idea.
As a coloring book creator dedicated to diversity and representation, finding the right tools to bring diverse skin tones to life has been crucial for me. Among the array of options available, two products have stood out as my personal favorites: the Winsor And Newton Skin Tone Set 2 and Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolor Pencils.
The Winsor And Newton Skin Tone Set has become an essential part of my artistic toolkit. From the deepest browns to the light creams, this set enables me to capture the nuances and complexities of African American, biracial, and Asian skin tones with depth, without them appearing grey or green.
When it comes to blending and layering, I rely on the Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolor Pencils. Their rich pigments and smooth application allow me to layer multiracial artwork. I usually layer these over the skintone markers, and that works really well for me.
While these products have become staples in my creative process, I believe that the right tools can vary from artist to artist. It's essential to explore and find what works best for you and your unique style. However, I can confidently say that these tools have made a significant difference in my own artistic journey, and I'm excited to share them with fellow creators.

Celebrating Diversity: Hazel and Emilio's Colorful Journey at Diversity by Freckles
It all begins with an idea.
Hey there! You came across Diversity by Freckles!
It's not your typical coloring book venture. Nope, it's a heartfelt project driven by love and a little guy's desire to see himself represented in the stories he loves. So, who's the magic behind it all? Meet Hazel and her amazing biracial son, Emilio – the dynamic duo shaking up the world of inclusive coloring books.
Imagine this: Hazel, a determined mom, searching high and low for coloring books that reflected her son, Emilio. But what did she find? Nothing quite matched the unique blend of cultures that Emilio embodies. And Emilio? Well, he wanted to see characters who looked like him too – a mix of backgrounds, just like his own.
So, what did they do? They decided to take matters into their own hands and create their own coloring books. But these weren't your ordinary books. Oh no! They were vibrant, diverse, and filled with characters of all colors, shapes, and sizes. From African American to biracial and multiracial identities, Diversity by Freckles had it covered.
And you know what? They're not going it alone. They're big believers in community, seeking feedback from parents, educators, and, of course, the kids themselves. Because who better than the little ones to tell us what they want to see in their coloring books?
In a world that sometimes overlooks inclusive representation, Hazel and Emilio are leading the way. Through their vibrant creations, they're showing kids everywhere that they're seen, heard, and valued – just as they are. And isn't that what it's all about?
Celebrating Diversity: Muslim Women in Colorful Hijabs
It all begins with an idea.
Title: Celebrating Diversity: Muslim Women in Colorful Hijabs with Diversity by Freckles
At Diversity by Freckles, we're thrilled to introduce our latest addition – Muslim coloring books! Inspired by the vibrant beauty of Islamic culture, these books feature stunning portraits of Muslim women adorned in a variety of hijabs and headpieces.
Our journey into the world of Muslim coloring books began with a desire to fill a gap in the market. We noticed a lack of coloring books that accurately represented Muslim women, particularly in their diversity of dress and expression. So, we set out to create something that would not only entertain but also empower young readers to embrace the beauty of diversity.
Each illustration in our Muslim coloring books is a celebration of the rich tapestry of Islamic traditions. From intricate patterns to elegant headpieces, every detail is designed to showcase the cultural richness and diversity of Muslim women around the world.
"But our commitment to diversity goes beyond just the images on the page," says Hazel, co-founder of Diversity by Freckles. "We believe in promoting inclusivity in every aspect of our business, from the artists we collaborate with to the themes we explore."
Furthermore, community engagement is at the core of what we do. We actively seek feedback from parents, educators, and children themselves to ensure that our coloring books are both authentic and engaging. This collaborative approach allows us to continuously improve and evolve, keeping our finger on the pulse of what matters most to our audience.
In a world that sometimes feels divided, Diversity by Freckles is proud to be a unifying force. Through our Muslim coloring books, we hope to inspire children to celebrate the beauty of diversity and foster a sense of belonging for all, one colorful portrait at a time.
Join us on this colorful journey as we celebrate the diversity of Muslim women, one hijab at a time.
Quote: "Our Muslim coloring books are a celebration of diversity and empowerment. Through vibrant illustrations, we aim to inspire children to embrace the beauty of different cultures and identities." - Hazel, Co-founder of Diversity by Freckles.
