Nicole Athena
July 1 through September 30th
I am Thrilled to meet You! I am a classically trained oil painter, but I also have a background in psychology, management, and textiles, and I draw creativity from each domain.
When it comes to painting, Ive coined my style “mosaic impressionism.” I love the energy created through the brush strokes of traditional impressionism, but I enjoy leaning into a brighter color palette. Having studied traditional techniques in form, function, and color, one of my favorite activities is to bend the rules and see just how far I can push the boundaries.
