Dinner Parties I dream of...

 So this pandemic has me longing for long late night garden dinner parties with my artsy friends. Since there seems to be no urgency to get art "out" ( two of my galleries have closed due to Covid's restrictions) I have been making work for myself; which is a luxury when you get on the train to make specific art for an audience. I imagined these ladies ( I call Goddesses) to be center pieces on my outdoor tables- all lit up or surrounded with candle light - just watching and listening to the intimate conversations happening around them. The little "fresh" butter dishes would keep perishables safe from any unwanted insects or night air. So I made these creations with the hopes of someday once again enjoying parties with loved ones and hoping this pandemic leaves our planet very soon. Much love to you. -xoxo Nicole

"Small Favors" Show in Philly

  Well I will be back in my art school hometown of Philadelphia ( or my work will be anyways ) April 11- June 2, 2024 at the The Clay Studio.  This is a fun show where the work has to fit in a 4" square clear box that hangs on the wall. It's a fan favorite and will not let you down. Please come out for the opening April 11 from 5-8pm. I will have one of my porcelain wood fired hearts hanging on the wall for all to see.
