Nicole Kate is currently a college student. She started acrylic painting in the summer of 2020 when one of her cousins wanted to commission a painting for her bedroom. The only other painting medium she used and well-versed in was watercolor. She also has started creating digital illustrations and graphic design, mainly for organizations at her university.

Her main inspiration is to express and convey a feeling. Sometimes, she gets an image that she wants to get onto paper or on canvas, and she looks up references online that capture aspects of her idea and works from there. Most of her works were inspired by anime and manga, and that's the style she usually emulates in her digital illustrations. 

Art has and continues to be a safe space for her to breathe and relax, as much as it is an avenue to express herself.
