About
Hello! I'm Nicole
ARTIST AND LIVE WEDDING & EVENT PAINTER
Milwaukee - Chicago - Destination
Art has been at the core of my life for as long as I can remember. Originally from Cleveland, OH, I grew up painting alongside my mom, pictured below. She showed me at a young age that pursuing a career in art can be fulfilling, empowering, and achievable.
After graduating from UW-Madison in 2019, I officially launched my art career and small business, Fine Arts by Nicole LLC, where my passions collided: capturing vibrant live scenes, translating artistic visions through a range of media, and connecting with people through art. In the past 5 years, I have done over 150 live wedding paintings and have created artworks for people, ranging from local and international clients to celebrities.
I take great time and care in creating a personalized approach to every collaborative project, ensuring each element of the artwork is uniquely tailored to bring your vision to life. Have a project in mind?

AS SEEN IN...
When I was in college, I struggled with the idea of creating art and then letting it go. I created this painting my sophomore year and it became a favorite of mine. When someone offered to buy this painting, it was tough for me to sell it, but I knew I had to let it go to grow as an artist. And I did! Art is meant to be created and shared with others, which is one of the greatest joy’s and honors I experience.
Turns out, the person that bought this painting would become my husband. The painting not only helped me grow when I needed it most, but I met Sam! We now have the painting hanging on our wall in Milwaukee. It’s crazy how everything happens for a reason.
