If you shop the popular St. Pete art markets, then you may have already seen Clancy Riehm<\/a>\u2019s work. The digital artist left her 9-to-5 and became a full-time artist two years ago. She\u2019s been making regular appearances at Indie Flea, Mezzo Market and Uptown Funk Market ever since\u2014and her new lunar moth piece is on the cover of this issue.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Creative Pinellas and the Tampa Bay Rays selected Riehm\u2019s artwork for the Tampa Bay Rays Artist Series, which creates an art gallery experience for baseball fans at Tropical Field. Last year, Riehm\u2019s \u201cWoman with Birds\u201d was featured in Bask\u2019s \u201cCheap Cheep Cheeps\u201d at The Morean Arts Center and later sold at Chad Mize\u2019s Advent at FloridaRAMA. She even created pickleball paddle art for Mize\u2019s Pickleball Paddle Art Show that closed at the new St. Pete Athletic at the Factory on Jan. 10. <\/p>\n

And she recently completed a new indoor mural featuring a rooster and a woman eating Chinese food for Retro House\u2019s new dining room in Ybor City, where she also sells her work.<\/p>\n

Clancy Riehm\u2019s name was dropped by Amanda Cooper, who plans to feature the artist in \u201cFresh Squeezed 10: Emerging Artists in Florida,\u201d slated for April 11-June 25, 2026. <\/p>\n

But before that, the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural artist will become known as the Tampa Bay Lightning\u2019s and the Tampa Bay Ray\u2019s Black History Month artist. And Mayor Ken Welch\u2019s office just reached out to ask her to design a Black History Month poster for the City of St. Pete.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to finally wrap up those projects and show everybody,\u201d Reihm told CL.<\/p>\n

The young illustrator, whose talent was nurtured by veteran Tampa Bay area designer and muralist Chad Mize, is designing Black History Month jerseys, a puck and arena graphics for the Lightning that will debut when the Lightning play the Sabres in Tampa on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

Plan to see Reihm\u2019s artwork at more Mize-curated shows this year, including \u201cEnjoy\u201d at Green Bench Brewing in March 2026. Reihm also created work for the St. Pete Robot Exchange\u2019s 12th ARTofficial Intelligence. St. Pete\u2019s longest-running robot-based art show also happens in March 2026\u2014exact dates and location not yet announced.<\/p>\n
