Doesn't it usually start "So and so has always been passionate about art, ever since he was a little tyke!" And so it is no surprise that Rhiannon's interest in art started when she was very young. Though inspired by all forms, from fine art paintings, to the art of film, she was most passionate about the art of visual storytelling - illustration.

After graduating from Ringling College of Art and Design, Rhiannon struggled as an artist, creating cute art for large companies. Feeling like a small cog in a goliath of a machine, she took strides towards forging her way as a freelance illustrator. Success came in the form of several great opportunities to work with Scholastic, Girl’s Life, Bop, Simon & Schuster and more! Rhiannon loves the work she does and hopes to continue building her freelance clientele. Scotty Valentine is her personal playground into creating fashionably cute items!
