Born in Quebec City,Nicole maintains studios in both Montreal, PQ and Palenville, NY. During the early 1990s she was part of the avant garde exhibits at Gallery Rouge in Quebec City and by the mid-90s had connected with similar minded artists, working in the Hudson Valley of New York. At the turn of the millennium, she was part of the Cross Street Gallery stable of painters and exhibited in the gallery’s major exhibits, curated by Bernard X Bovasso, involving: ‘Expressionistic paintings of the Abstract kind. ( Abstract-Sublime )
As an artist, her interests span ‘exploration to interpretation’, the paradox between research and statement. Each piece being a marker, a fragment of reality, arriving through a creative process; interpretation arriving after the fact, quit apart from any personalisms of the artist; and allowing, as much as possible, a freedom of interpretation to the viewer.
About the artist process
Is there a way to be free from the attachment to a predetermined intention? Is there any answer to the human quest of its own essence? What is that etheric nature of human experience; and how can one translate it through a personal experience/process? Transcending the individual experience to better express the collective event is part of my quest.
