Being surrounded by inspiration every day, and being compelled to create from it can almost drive one mad.

I spend a great deal of my time gathering up art inspiration, taking reference photos, and then bringing all that energy back into my Wilmington, North Carolina studio to paint. I would say I paint an equal amount with oil paints, and heavy body acrylic paints. Both of which give me vibrant colors, which has become part of my signature style.

My inspirations are vast, and so my creations are eclectic. And that is how I, Nicole, started Nicclectic.
