About ME

Hi, I’m Nicole, a Seattle-based artist. I think of art as a light—something that cuts through the mundane and illuminates what we might otherwise overlook. It’s easy to get caught in everyday life, where inspiration fades and the things that once moved us become distant. Art has the power to pull us back, to bring something into focus, and to remind us of our spark.

As a first-generation Armenian-American, I carry with me a deep appreciation for resilience, community, and the power of giving back. While my work isn’t explicitly tied to my heritage, these values shape how I approach creativity and share it with others.

I primarily work with acrylic paint but enjoy experimenting with other mediums. My process is layered in every sense. I often start with digital tools, like photography and Photoshop, to draft ideas and refine my vision. At the canvas, I layer colors and textures to create work that feels both striking and deeply felt.

Whether I’m painting a figure, an abstract landscape, or something in between, my hope is that my art leaves a lasting impression—not just as something to look at, but as something to return to. A bright spot in someone's space—a reminder of a feeling, a dream, or a version of ourselves worth holding onto.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. If something resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out and connect.
