Nicole
Artist & Co-Founder

I’m a painter, art educator, and lifelong creative with a passion for capturing meaningful moments through art. With a B.A. in Painting, Drawing, and Digital Media from Marist College and classical training from the Leo Marchutz School in France, my work blends tradition with emotion and story. I specialize in live event portrait painting as well as custom pet, faceless  and home portraits. When I’m not painting or teaching, you’ll find me gardening, spending time with my family, and enjoying life with my beloved dogs.

Stories Behind the Strokes

  • That’s amazing. You nailed Gibby’s eyes! Thank you!

    HM

  • Nicole created a painting of my dog Zoey, who I recently lost, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received. She captured Zoey’s spirit, expression, and presence so perfectly that it brought tears to my eyes. It felt like she was right there with me again. From start to finish, Nicole was kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand who Zoey was and poured that love into every brushstroke. The finished painting is more than just art—it’s a lasting memory of someone I loved deeply. I’m forever grateful to Nicole for giving me such a beautiful way to remember Zoey. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal and heartfelt piece that truly captures the soul of what matters most.
