Nicole’s paintings explore the intersection of tenderness, memory, and resilience through bold, emotive imagery that fuses childlike wonder with layered, sophisticated narratives. A writer as well as a visual artist, she incorporates original text pulled directly from her journals—raw, handwritten fragments that function as both confession and composition. Her materials reference early creative expression, while the language remains sharply autobiographical, giving each piece the intimacy of a personal artifact. While Nicole’s larger practice includes public installations and participatory works that have reached international audiences, her paintings offer a quieter, more distilled gesture—introspective yet insistent in their emotional clarity. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in both fine art and public contexts.
