Attuned to the rhythms of nature, the nuances of emotion, and the landscapes of the internal experience of being human, my works aim to resonate as touchstones within spaces, inviting moments of reflection, connection, and inspiration.
Through my art and teaching, I invite the embracing of beauty in its most unexpected forms — in the stories etched upon surfaces, the dance of colour, and the play of light and shadows that compose our collective humanity.
About NicoleI studied drawing, painting, and photography at the University of Guelph and communication design and jewellery at OCAD University.
Drawing from a rich variety of materials and media — from lush paints and photographic images to stitching, found objects, and natural elements, my approach is one of playful experimentation, where each medium contributes to a narrative of introspection and celebration of color, movement, and layers.
As a multi-passionate artist, everything I do is infused with these themes and sensibilities. Whether I am leading creative-mindfulness workshops or 1:1 sessions, creating paintings or dimensional collages, photographing the wind in the trees, or reflections in puddles — my work asks for a gentler, slower, and more compassionate world.
About the Work Through surprising pops of color balanced with the depth of rich inky darks, I evoke a wide spectrum of emotion, from vibrant joy to beautiful, reflective melancholy.
There are often stories hidden underneath layers, a richness of handwritten words and marks, and a celebration of details.
I am just as interested in the process that built up a surface, as well as the beauty of the surface itself.
My landscapes of introspection contain open spaces that offer visual and mental respite, as well as areas of visual complexity that reflect internal complexities.
