Hi, I'm Nicole Ray!
I'm a Michigan-based illustrator specializing in quirky characters, lively lettering, and nostalgia-filled settings. My hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. I also create a line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.
