Born 1984, Harare, Zimbabwe

Nicole is a Zimbabwean born artist. She grew up on a tobacco farm in Nyazura, where she nurtured her talent and developed her artistic skills from a very young age, later completing her degree in Fine Art (painting) at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, USA in 2006. Thereafter Nicole lived and worked in New York gaining valuable experience in an art gallery in Soho, New York. She has also spent time painting in the south of France where she learnt to use acrylic paint while working on site, travelling from village to village. Nicole is incredibly passionate about her work and art and is now pursuing her dream as an artist, painting full time from her studio in Harare.

Nicole is fascinated by the process of creating art and by the development of an “idea” into image. She is inspired by human emotion, anatomy and colour and generally prefers to paint on large canvases which she feels have more impact on her viewer. Her primary choice of medium is acrylic on canvas although she has experimented in a variety of different mediums and techniques.

Recently Nicole has exhibited in Zimbabwe and Zambia, but in the past, has travelled extensively and exhibited in the USA and in France. She is also an accredited International Baccalaureate Arts Examiner, and receives and grades student portfolio’s from all over the world bi-annually.

Now settled in Harare, Nicole is focusing on her painting career more than ever and looks forward to an exciting future and a progressive and successful career.  

“THE MASTER IN THE ART OF LIVING draws no distinction between work and play, labor and leisure, mind and body, education and recreation. Simply pursue your vision of excellence through whatever you are doing! Leave others to determine whether you are working or playing! To yourself, it always feels that you are doing both!!” (Abraham Hicks Publications)
