Nichole O

I'm a story teller at heart. Story telling is what brought me to painting. I spent many years trying to express myself in words, but with little success. Painting gives me a new medium with which to express the little stories, feelings, and sensations associated with living. Other people's opinions and interpretations of the paintings bring me even more joy than the act of painting itself.

Most of what I learned didn't come from a book or a class. I've had many classes, only one had anything to do with art. I have a BA in English, an MAT in Education, and an additional 18 graduate hours in English.

As far as an education in art, I have learned (and am still learning) through experimentation. I play; I learn.
