I have not read this book.

I include this because it is a book surrounding a woman of color who is an artist, with a passion for painting. This book is not about art, rather it is about her battle with shadowshapers.

This book looks like it is really awesome, it involves fantasy in its genre, and the main character is from Puerto Rico with African descent. This is not a depiction commonly seen in popular media. I know I haven't read this, but I must include it because of its unique premise and character

Within this book, the character Clary has a power to summon runes with her drawing skills in order to fight demons within this world.

I think that this cleverly includes a young character's talents and passion for drawing for empowerment.

Looking up and finding media surrounding adolescence and art in literature, there is not much mention of artists of color in media I am finding.
In order to actually find this media, I have to specify my search terms, adding inclusive tags in order to find what I'm looking for. I question the inclusivity for young people of color and various cultures and their representation in literature, movies, tv, art, and more when it comes to art.
And still, I am coming up largely empty.

Aria Montgomery is the "Artsy" member of the friend group in TV show Pretty Little Liars, as shown with outfits showcasing a variety of patterns and bohemian/alternative designs. A major character arc of Aria is that she is secretly dating her high school teacher, despite being a minor.

Her art process never being directly shown on screen, only referenced by articles around her and her dress, it seems like she fits an artsy aesthetic within the tv show.

A romance novel with a love interest who is a visual artist, creating sculptures out of trash he finds.

This book is not really centered around the art aspect, as not even the protagonist is the artist, rather it is her love interest. This novel's focus is more on the main character's mourning of her late father and the budding romance she encounters.

The art shown in this scene is reminiscent of famous painter, Van Gogh's work titled Sunflowers.

Every scene depicting Jane doing art in Daria showcases other of "her" paintings showing other famous works. This is cleverly done, and the fact this is depicted in a show aimed towards adolescents reflects the presumed intelligence of its audience.
