Machaila Gray is a multidisciplinary artist born and based in Indianapolis. Creatively inclined from a young age, she specializes in vibrant illustrations that combine elements of nature and human expression with a touch of the weird and unconventional. Her bold, colorful style is inspired by animation & comics, and contemporary Black artists.

Machaila studied illustration and sculpture at Herron School of Art+Design, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts. She considers herself a student of life.
She has a permanent mural (as part of a collaborative installation) located at Rabble Coffee, and has exhibited in various local spaces such as Hoy Polloy, State Street Pub, Murphy Arts Center, and Storage Space Gallery.
