Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, DeAnn Wiley has been a self-taught painter for five years. She began with traditional acrylic painting and just began her journey into the digital art world with a focus on children's illustrations. Her debut picture book, Sarah Rising, was published by Beaming Books in May 2022.
