Rike Nickel (b. 1993) works at the intersection of illustration, art and  education. 
She is a multidisciplinary artist, published children’s book author, and badass mom, mainly specializing in illustration, painting, and educational workshops.
Her work approaches sensitive subjects with empathy and humour,  playing with handwritten text and bold colors.
