Nicole is a self-taught artist painting out of her home studio in Brunswick, Maine.  She was born and raised in Northern California, and was artistic throughout her childhood.  After high school, she enlisted and served 4 years in the US Navy.  Then life happened as it does... marriage, children, work... and art took a back seat for nearly 30 years before she began painting again. 

     She feels blessed to call Maine home.  She finds inspiration in the beauty of Maine’s coastal communities, landscapes & nature, and occasionally a penguin because, well, they’re her favorite!

     Nicole is a member of the International Guild of Realism, Meetinghouse Arts Gallery in Freeport, The Lemont Block Collective in Brunswick, and is excited to announce that she will be an official member of Saltwater Artists Gallery in New Harbor in spring 2022.

     She offers a variety of original paintings, some reproductions, and Giclees.  If there is something you would like painted, she does that too!
