HELLO! ✧

Hi! I'm Rachel Eaton, also known by Rayleearts. I'm an illustrator and designer based in Michigan, and I'm thoroughly obsessed with fantasy and creating anything that makes the world feel a little more magical.

I studied graphic design, but I've been doing illustration for as long as I can remember. I graduated with my bachelor's just in time for a global pandemic (yay!) so I decided to try freelancing. I've been running an online shop since, and I also upload exclusive art on my Patreon. Currently, I'm illustrating and writing my webcomic Realta on Webtoon. It started as a fun side project on Webtoon Canvas, until it was picked up to become a Webtoon Original.

I also enjoy pottery, gaming, exploring forests, reading, and petting my baby cat Kiki amongst my collection of swords, woodwind instruments, and graphic novels.
