About

Bianca Marie Rivera (bonks) is a Black Puerto Rican illustrator and muralist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Currently residing in San Francisco, her art practice is fueled by her favorite things: people-watching with a pen during the commute, novels and movies about the pain and joy of coming-of-age (over and over again), music à la psychedelic rock, funk, pop and hip-hop. This results in a style that embraces a bright, colorful and inclusive approach, actualizing a world in which anything and everything is possible.

Previous clients include SVA NYC, SFMTA, Exploratorium, Bay Area Discovery Museum and Not97.
