Who is NLB?

Hi! Im Nicole, a 25-year-old artist based in Charlotte, North Carolina and I’ve been painting since I could hold a brush! What started at age four as childhood curiosity has grown into a lifelong love affair with creating!

Over the years, my practice has expanded to include not just painting, but printmaking, oil and watercolor work, textile art, and whatever else my hands feel called to explore. I’m drawn to natural forms, soft colors, and quiet moments. Most of my inspiration comes from the world around me.

When I’m not in my little studio, you’ll probably find me at home with my husband and our two cats, Percy and Ophelia, who are equal parts muse and chaos.

Thank you for supporting my work—it means the world to be able to share a piece of what I love with you.
