Precious Diamond B. is an arts and culture practitioner, community herbalist, and visual archivist. She collaborates with culture bearers and healers to lead workshops, curate conversations, and develop visual projects that center holistic wellness and liberatory dreaming.
For ten years Precious was based in Baltimore, MD cultivating her artist practice and arts administration journey after graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration and concentration in Printmaking. Her creative practice blossomed with her visual journalism senior thesis Creatives of Color, a research project that collected the stories of Baltimore arts and arts administration innovators through type and illustration. In 2020 she expanded her artistic vision with Celestial Beings, an archiving project that charted the intergenerational journeys of five Black femmes who engage in spiritual practice as a healing art. Currently, Precious is rooted in Philadelphia, where she venerates African/Indigenous traditional plant medicine and Hoodoo spiritual rituals through herbal medicine boxes, eco-conscious printmaking, and intimate communal gatherings.
