Nicole Olivares

Born and raised in Kearny, New Jersey, I live and work as a freelance illustrator and designer. 

Ever since I was young I noticed I had a passion towards comics, cartoons, and animation. From messy doodles in my class notes, to now fully rendered and finished illustrations, nothing makes me happier than seeing my artwork grow and being shared with others. 

I graduated Montclair State University with a major in Animation/Illustration in January 2018. Currently I work at the Creative Life Lab studio, teaching painting classes to a variety of different age groups with different skill sets.

My art consists of traditional pen and ink lines along with the use of digital painting techniques in most of my works. However I love to experiment with new mediums and techniques to expand my portfolio.
