About the Artist
Bobbi Cyr (she/her) is the watercolor artist and hand letterer behind Cyriously Creative—a small business that combines vibrant color with thoughtful words to offer messages of love, comfort, and hope.
Born in Aurora, Illinois, and raised in a Navy family, Bobbi learned early how to find beauty in transition and connection in new places. That sense of adaptability, curiosity, and compassion has shaped her life and her art. After earning her under-grad degree in Business Marketing from California Lutheran University in 2003, she moved to Japan as a missionary with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). What began as a two-year commitment grew into ten years of cross-cultural ministry, teaching, and deep-rooted community. Her years in Japan gave her a passion for presence, listening, and seeing the sacred in everyday moments.
Since returning to the U.S. in 2013, Bobbi has served in ministry for over a decade, primarily as a Children, Youth, and Family leader, where she’s taught, mentored, and walked alongside young people and families through their faith journeys. In 2024, she graduated from Luther Seminary with a Master’s in Leadership and Innovation and was ordained as a Deacon in the ELCA. She now serves as the Mission Developer at Luther’s Table—a community outreach ministry in Renton, WA that embodies radical hospitality, creative expression, and shared nourishment.
At the heart of Bobbi’s calling is the desire to equip and empower others for their own sense of purpose and vocation. Whether through ministry, mentoring, or art, her work is driven by the question: “How are we being church in the world?” She believes everyone has something to offer and loves helping people discover how God might be calling them to use their gifts in meaningful ways. Leadership development and community-building are not just parts of her job—they are deep passions that show up in everything she does, including the art she creates.
When she’s not creating, you’ll likely find her sipping coffee in the sunshine, watching hummingbirds, digging in her garden, marveling at the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, or painting at her kitchen table with her cat, Malachi, nearby. Cyriously Creative is her offering to the world—a little light, a little love, and a reminder that hope is always worth sharing.
