The First Leg

My Posse
So here begins the "Installation Summer".... This summer I will be residing at Fort Hays State University to do a 3 week intensive Art Installation Semester with Linda Ganstrom.

In order for this to happen, I had to coordinate a few details first. What to do with my kids???

Here is the first leg of my journey.

Today I drove 6 hours to the Florida Panhandle to deliver my girls to my parents. Here they will enjoy the week of 4th of July where I have spent the last 34 July 4ths! It's a magical stretch of beach and I will get to savor a full day floating and Paddle boarding in the Gulf of Mexico before I hop on a 5am flight for Wichita, Kansas and then drive 3 additional hours to get to Hays, Kansas to begin my summer adventure. So I leave with this parting shot of the glorious ocean and hope you follow my art journey.
Next Stop...Kansas
Gulf of Mexico

Manifesting my Dream

Well I'm writing to you from the cutest little casita off of Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM. We took a chance and followed a dream that's been in the works for 30+ years for me. It's time for adventure. I am now a Southwest girl ; make that a southwest cowgirl! Please follow along to see what this life path has in store . I'm super excited and very grateful to be here.  Misspelt from my iPhone Nicole Merkens Art & Design www.nicolemerkens.com 404-667-3162 Insta:  @artgirl253 Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/nicolemerkensart

"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.
