About Us – The Arty AF Story

I’m Sarah Sibley – the artist, designer, and unapologetically neurospicy creative behind the brand. Arty AF was born in late 2025 after I moved house and realised that although there were lots of places selling art prints, none of them were exactly what I was looking for. I wanted bold, funky, personality-packed prints for our new space, so in true ADHD style, I thought “Fine, I’ll just make my own then.” And I did… but then also in true ADHD fashion, I got a bit carried away creating all of the random ideas that popped into my head, and before I knew it, Arty AF went from a fun personal project, to a full-blown wall-art brand.

From a Lifetime of Creative Chaos – Before Arty AF, I spent time working as a freelance showbiz journalist and photographer as well as a baking blogger and cake artist, where I made a name for myself creating rude, shocking and wonderfully weird edible art – the kind of creations that landed me in publications across the world, including; Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Bizarre Magazine, Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff, The Guardian, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, to name a few. 

After that, I settled down into the slightly more grown-up career of digital marketing, where I was able to pour my creativity into web and graphic design, and hone the skills that I now put to use creating Arty AF prints.

Dopamine Inducing, Statement-Making Art – As a neurospicy dopamine chaser, I’m drawn to bold colours, big contrasts and designs that say something. That’s why I wanted Arty AF to be a brand for people who want their homes to feel alive, expressive and maybe a little bit rebellious.

Whether it makes you laugh, nostalgic, shocked, confused, feel loved, feel heard, sparks conversation, or simply fills us with joy to look at, I believe the art on our walls should make us feel something, whatever that may be.

Original Art, Designed & Printed in the UK – Every Arty AF design is original and created in my home studio with a mix of creativity, humour, hyperfocus, chihuahua cuddles, and probably too much caffeine.

As a small brand, we use a trusted UK print partner who specialises in high-quality, sustainable production, to turn our designs into stunning, quality wall art. This enables us to keep our standards up, and our prices down.

Thanks for being here and supporting a small, proudly weird, proudly creative, UK female owned business.

I’m so excited to help you make your walls Arty AF.
