Nicole graduated college in Michigan with a Bachelors of Marketing and Advertising with a Graphic Design minor that sent her off to California to pursue a fresh new life.  After 4 years in San Diego, Nicole met her husband, graduated with a Masters in Business Administration, packed all their things and moved to North Carolina.    

After many years of marketing, advertising, and graphic design work behind her belt, Nicole was determined to set up shop as a local artist in Cary, NC and Raleigh, NC.  Nicole's art can be found around the Triangle including theVisual Art Exchange, Jordan Hall Arts Center, Cary Ballet Conservatory, Ruckus Restaurant, Java Divine Gelato & Coffee Bar, Fine Arts League of Cary, Galaxy Cinema, and Studio #9 at The Carter Building at Glenwood South Raleigh. She consistently enters various exhibitions across the county as well as being an art vendor at local art fairs. Raleigh SparkCon, Cary Spring Daze, Cary Laze Daze, Chapel Hill Festifall, and Apex Peakfest to name a few display her handmade jewelry for purchase. Nicole also has been instructing art lessons for the past 3 years at both her Cary Home Studio and Studio #9 at The Carter Building artist studios.

Nicole's style is eclectic abstract and unique contemporary art that constantly changes.  She loves using textures, different mediums to add depth, objects such as mesh, fiber, paper, gold & silver leaf, and brilliant colors that dance the light across the canvas.  What is life without trying new things?
