Native to the US, Nichole is a 20-year veteran of the corporate sustainability space. Always interested in arts and creative practices, she has been fortunate enough for the freedom to develop her own practices and curiosities.
She is fascinated by the intersection of fine art and “craft,” namely what is reclassified as feminine versus masculine creative products. You will see her working in illustration, printmaking, fiber arts, and, of course, ceramics.
Her dog, Turtle, is a friendly and lazy presence in the studio.
