About

inkray is actually just Ray(me!)
I was a born artist and acquired the prestigious title of “Art School Dropout” at 19. After pursuing a much more stable career in TIG welding for 10 years, I couldn’t deny my inner compass any longer.

In December 2024, I left my welding job and begun pursuing art full time. Drawing has been a pursuit of mine since childhood, ideas continue to flow out of me and I love sharing them with the world! Making little creatures is my favorite, I hope they bring joy to you as they do to me!

2020 beading set my heart on fire.
I was invited to bead at the age of 27, when I needed therapy the most, by my Lakota Native best friend Kaylee(Wanbli Designs) and to say it changed my brain chemistry would be fucking correct. I went insane with it and never stopped, it captured my soul so completely and unlocked feelings I was never able to with drawing. 

Every piece contains life, creativity, emotions, dreams; things I hope you’ll experience when wearing your handmade piece of art.
I want my work to make you feel whimsical, creative, unstoppable, and most of all, like your heart is on fire.
