NOAH GRIGNI
freelance illustrator
they/them

​
Noah Grigni is a children's book author and illustrator living in Atlanta, GA. They make art in collaboration with their community, exploring themes of gender, ecology, care, dreams, interdependence, and abolition in their work. Noah is the illustrator of It Feels Good To Be Yourself by Theresa Thorn (2019), The Every Body Book by Rachel Simon (2020), and The Every Body Book of Consent by Rachel Simon (2024). Their debut picture book as both author and illustrator, Mama Moon, comes out on April 15th, 2025. (You can preorder it here!)
Noah often returns to motifs of monsters and shapeshifters in their art, as they experience the world through the lens of their own dysphoria, trauma, and chronic pain. Their work is driven by a burning desire to resist carceral capitalism, disrupt environmental devastation, and live to see a world transformed by love and liberation. Noah can often be found reading, gardening, wandering the woods, making music with their friends, facilitating events in their community, and volunteering in their local food justice network.
​
Noah's favorite quotes are:
"The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible." -- Toni Cade Bambara
​
"The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don't see." -- James Baldwin
