Meet the Family Behind Color Reign

If you’ve been here for a while, you probably know Color Reign started with Tyler McDonald. But lately, it’s become a little more of a family affair—and we thought it was time to introduce the people behind the page. ❤️

🎨 Tyler — The Artist

Tyler is the heart of Color Reign. He’s an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran who served 20 years in the National Guard as a helicopter mechanic and crew chief, and finished his career as an information technology specialist. He is the creative mind behind the paintings and wood crafts. When he’s not in the workshop, he enjoys cooking, gaming, building projects, and spending time with his dog and grandson.

Most importantly, Tyler is a Christian, and his faith plays a huge role in his life and in the art he creates. Many of his paintings are inspired by his faith and the things God has placed on his heart.

📱 Gillian — Behind the Business

That’s me! I’m Tyler’s daughter, a medical assistant, and a mom. I’ve stepped in to help with the social media, content, and business side of Color Reign, as well as share some crafts.

Outside of Color Reign, I love reading, cooking, weight lifting, and spending time with my family. 🩷

🧵 Alexa — The Sewing Creative

My sister Alexa is joining us from Arizona! She works in the hotel industry and is an absolute book lover. She’s also completely obsessed with her cat. 😂

She’ll be bringing her own creativity to Color Reign through handmade sewing crafts, and we can’t wait to see what she creates! 💜

❤️ LeAnn — The One Behind All of Us

And then there’s Mom.

LeAnn may not be the one painting, posting, or crafting, but honestly… none of this would happen without her. She’s the moral support, the childcare, and the person who lets Dad spend money on another project. 😂

She loves reading, cleaning, and spending time with her grandson—and she’s always there supporting the rest of us behind the scenes. 💙

So while Tyler started Color Reign, it’s becoming something our whole family gets to be a part of.

We’re creating, learning, figuring things out, and having a whole lot of fun along the way. Most of all, we’re grateful for the opportunity to use the gifts God has given each of us to create something together.

Thank you for being here and supporting our little family business! We’re so excited for what’s ahead. 🤍
