ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Driven by process, Nicole’s abstract paintings are highly saturated and built with layers of collage-like shapes. Her work explores the complexity of color, states of flux, dichotomies within painting, the transitional nature of being, and the threshold between interior and exterior, the tangible and intangible. Nicole describes her artistic practice as “a process of bringing together contrasting elements and trying to make a cohesive whole, to create an abstract narrative where change is constant.”
