Hi! I am Shannon “Shay” Nichols. I am a freelance fantasy illustrator specializing in book illustration.

When I am not in the studio, I’m usually walking my weird dog, re-reading The Locked Tomb series, obsessively learning to crochet, or painting my local town en plein air while my partner scouts for the best coffee shops.

I do not use AI in any part of my creative process.

If you are interested in working with me, reach me at snicholsart22@gmail.com ⭐
