Biography

Nicole Barry is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator from a small town outside of Syracuse, New York, called Camillus. She has loved art from a young age and could not picture her life without it.

Nicole continued to grow as an artist at SUNY Oswego, pursuing a major in Graphic Design and a minor in Communications and Social Interaction.

While at SUNY Oswego, her most significant achievements have been her work featured in the 54th, 55th, and 56th Juried Art Show and also receiving the Jurors Design Award in 2019.

Looking towards the future, Nicole is planning on working in a design firm specializing in advertising, branding, and package design.

Artist Statement

My love for art and the world influences my work as I always try to be inspired by the atmosphere around me. SUNY Oswego has allowed me to combine my love for art and nature by working at the Sustainability Office as their Graphic Designer, being close to Lake Ontario, and allowing me to travel with the art department to Ireland.

I have found a passion for product design and branding that has stemmed from my love for digital and traditional illustration, type, logo, and poster design.
