work is characterized by escapist and endearing subject matter,
including brightly colored candies, donuts, and care bears that
evoke comforting childhood memories.
“My work is an ongoing survey of the objects, landscapes,
and people around me: both past and present. I am drawn to the
overly saturated, the kitschy, and the saccharine. My paintings
are meditations on objects made of plastic, polyester, and
artificial flavoring,” said Nicole.
Proceeds from the concert and a portion of the proceeds
from art sales will go toward the ArtCenter’s mission to inspire,
engage, and connect all walks of life through the universal
language of art through classes, exhibitions, and events. One
of the ArtCenter’s signature programs, Art For All, offers art to
underserved populations regardless of financial resources. The
program provides youth scholarships, art education to schools
that would otherwise not have art in their curriculum, and art
classes to veterans, seniors, and individuals with special needs.
