ABOUT

Nicole Bricker creates expressive figurative oil paintings depict the times of our lives that are often overlooked or seen as mundane or unimportant. The subject matter Nicole develops is a direct reflection of her life as well as from stories of women who inspire her. Using multilayered concepts, Nicole articulates through her paintbrush her desire to create visual conversations. Through observation and eavesdropping, Nicole examines the interpersonal interactions around her to form the narratives of her work to express perspectives.

Nicole was born and raised in Minnesota where she began developing her passion for visual arts. After earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio TV Film studies, Nicole worked in media before returning her focus on art. While living in New York, Nicole studied figurative painting at National Academy of Design where she developed her passion for live model painting.

Nicole works out of her home studio in Redding Connecticut. Her work has been shown throughout New York City and New England. Her most recent collection, Moments Witnessed, was shown at Five Points Annex Gallery in Torrington CT.
