In pursuing painting as a meditative state, she intends to channel joy and truth highlighting her belief in a unified universality of positivity. Her masterful balance of bold colors harmoniously combine energetic movement with an overarching serenity.” -Sarah Kirshen, 2014 "Kerin Nicole is a Brooklyn-based American artist whose work bridges nature, symbolism, and contemporary culture. A lifelong painter with roots in the American South and New York City, she brings together influences from her background in sign painting, wellness, and travel to create bold, emotionally resonant works. Her paintings move fluidly between abstract minimalism, figurative expression, and conceptual commentary. Themes of water, animals, plants, and human experience recur across her work, reflecting her deep connection to the natural world and her interest in how culture shapes identity and meaning. Working in oil, acrylic, gouache, and natural pigments, she explores both large-scale statement pieces and intimate works on paper, inviting collectors into a world that is both meditative and provocative. Kerin Nicole's art has appeared in restaurants, public spaces, galleries, and private collections, and she continues to expand her practice with new series that merge fine art, design, and storytelling. Her work reflects a non-static, free-flowing lifestyle grounded in curiosity, resilience, and beauty."
