ABOUT

Nicole Bricker (b. Minnesota 1977) is based in Redding, CT. She received her B.A. in Radio TV Film Studies before refining her oil painting skills at the National Academy of Design in New York. Bricker’s work explores nostalgia, memory, and Midwestern kitsch through painting, printmaking, collage, and mixed media sculpture. 

​

Her work has been exhibited at the Lyman Allyn Museum (New London, CT), Rosalux Gallery (Minneapolis, MN), and Dacia Gallery (New York, NY), among others. Bricker participated in the yearlong Canopy Program residency where she received the James Bernard Haggarty Scholarship. She is the founder of Redding based Anonymous Society which is a gallery founded with the intention to nurture experimentation, intellectual exchange, and develop collector’s evolution.

​

Bricker’s creative process incorporates found objects, cast plaster, and unconventional materials like liquid rubber to examine how memories are framed and influenced by cultural belief systems. By reclaiming the aesthetics of Midwestern suburbia, she invites viewers to reconsider their connections to identity, tradition, and storytelling.
