Nicole Maynard

Nicole Maynard is a painter whose work explores the concept of home through abstracted architectural forms and shifting landscapes. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northeast and Miami, where she lived for seven years.
Maynard’s paintings exist at the edge of abstraction and representation, using imagery such as houses, moving boxes, and constructed horizons to suggest environments in transition. Her compositions balance structure and spatial ambiguity, reflecting themes of permanence and impermanence, displacement, and belonging. Architectural uncertainty—conveyed through shifting forms and restrained geometry—plays a central role in her process.
She lives and works in New Jersey, between Philadelphia and New York City.
