Rhiannan Sibbald is a traveling muralist and illustrator based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Drawing since her toddler days, Rhiannan knew she was destined to a life of art making. She left her rural hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan in pursuit of an illustration degree from Grand Valley State University. When post-grad design roles left her feeling restless, Rhiannan decided to pursue art full time, where she explored themes celebrating play, joy and childlike wonder. Rhiannan’s visual lexicon includes bright colors, whimsical scenes, funky lettering and lots of sparkles. She has painted over 40 custom murals in schools, libraries, children’s museums and public spaces across the Midwest, and is currently working towards becoming a children’s book illustrator. She lives in a cozy little apartment with her husband and calico fur baby, Honey.

FUN FACT!
Rhiannan was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (AKA The U.P.) and is known to Michiganders as a “Yooper.” She grew up snowmobiling, ice fishing, canning food, and maintaining a wood stove to heat her home. Her dream is to eventually find her way back to these roots.
