Harnessing the restorative power of art
As a nurse, I spent my career caring for patients, and it was a natural evolution when I began painting to find balance in my life. Now, as a full-time artist, I am dedicated to creating art that provides solace and peace to others. My transition from nursing to art was driven by a deep passion for healing through creative expression.
My primary medium is acrylic, which I use to create calming and healing paintings that reflect the beauty and complexity of the natural world. In my work, I strive to create images that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility while sparking the imagination and inspiring the viewer to explore new perspectives and possibilities. I believe that art has the power to restore, uplift, and transform and I am committed to using my artwork to promote healing and wellness in myself and others.
Whether I am painting a landscape, a seascape, or an abstract expression, my goal is always the same: to create a sense of beauty, wonder, and hope that can bring comfort and joy to those who need it most. I am honored to share my art with others and hope my work will continue to inspire and uplift for many years to come.
Helping you find calm through art
From serene landscapes to calming seascapes and vibrant floral abstracts, my goal is to infuse a touch of beauty and solace into your space. If you're seeking art with depth, emotion, and a sprinkle of therapeutic magic, look no further.
Welcome to a world where art heals.
Giving back to the community is something I hold dear, and I actively participate in several local charity events. It brings me joy to use my art as a means of making a positive impact.
In addition to my artistic endeavors, I also teach art workshops and classes online. I love sharing my knowledge and passion for art with aspiring artists. I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to be creative, so I encourage my students to experiment with different techniques and mediums, guiding them towards discovering their own unique style.
When I'm not in the studio, you can often find me hiking in Big Sur or exploring Carmel. These experiences enrich my life and provide endless inspiration for my art. I'm always seeking new ways to push the boundaries of my craft, making each new piece a reflection of my journey through life and my ever-evolving artistic style.
Kind words from collectors
“You can feel the pride Nicole has in her art and the dedication and work she puts into each piece. My recent purchase was a piece for my den area and I couldn't be happier. The variation in Nicole's pieces make them suitable for any room or design style. Trust me.....I have a number of them throughout my house because every time I visit her gallery in Carmel she has another piece I fall in love with. I highly recommend stopping by to take a look for yourself, you will not be disappointed.”

“Nicole's calming and beautiful spirit flows onto her canvases, creating gorgeous paintings. I am proud to own a smaller floral piece of hers which I enjoy repeatedly throughout the day and it always brings a smile to my face. Her landscapes are a dreamy bit of the Pacific Coast. Her gallery is well worth visiting while in Carmel! ”
