About Nicole

My artwork is inspired by people and their relationship with plants and nature. I like to sit in cafés, bars or on mass transit and sketch passers by. I enjoy using bold colors and textures, experimenting with various mediums including: collage, acrylic, oil and clay.

My current body of work came about during 2020, when I had a lot more time to reflect, and recalibrate. I’d been focused on architecture and cityscapes for six years, and the pandemic gave me time to experiment. I decided I would make new planters for all my houseplants, and when I started sharing those designs on Instagram, it turned out other people wanted them too! So I’ve been working on designs, that I have been sketching and pondering for decades now. They’re constantly evolving, and I’m loving the process.

In early 2022, I decided to give up my freelance job to try to make a go of life as a full time artist, so thank for being here for the journey! My husband and I are working hard to make a big move to Portugal next year, to have a small farm and artist retreat and residency center, that will focus on community and bringing people together.
