Noble Liverpool is a Black abstract artist based in Detroit, Michigan. They work primarily in abstract collage, book arts, and suminagashi - Japanese paint marbling on seaweed water. They have a formal education from Columbia College Chicago in fine art photography, they called Chicago home for 14 years before moving to Greensboro, North Carolina then settling in Detroit. Their childhood in a mixed race immigrant household with extended family always at home solidified their Black identity, passion for speaking through art, and love of their Trinidadian heritage. 

Their art is bold, emotional and layered with intention - being Black, queer, trans, and neurodivergent while navigating complex life experiences like grief, isolation, poverty, and long term homelessness due to medical racism and an unjust lack of care - cannot be ignored as you experience their art. Their work often explores difficult to discuss subject matter in a way that demonstrates deep duality, bringing to the surface the humanity of life's grief coinciding simultaneously with glimmers of lightness and love that keep us anchored. 

Connection, communication, and sovereignty are Noble’s main focus in creating art. They believe in the revolutionary power of being firmly rooted even in chaos, planting seeds of joy & living loudly despite adversity. They have a strong belief in the power of art to supply us all with more hope, believing some days we must borrow hope from those we admire when ours falls short in supply. 

In 2024, Noble designed their first art book, ‘A Zine to Let My Heart Speak;’ a 24 page full color book featuring their largest body of work to date. They also began a mail art swap for Black visual artists to share their creations and connect with peers across the country.
