She further honed her craft through master workshops with renowned artists including Quang Ho and Robert Liberace. In 2001\, she established a respected gallery in Raleigh\, known for showcasing fine artists and hosting nationally recognized workshops. \nNicole’s journey is a testament to her dedication\, curiosity\, and the vibrant stories she tells through paint. \nJoin us in celebrating this exceptional artist and experience her work in the beautiful setting of the Beaufort Historic Site and Mattie King Davis Art Gallery! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n
