Artist Feature: Nicole Brewer
Biggest thing you changed your mind about in life?
That it’s not only okay to admit you don’t know something, but it’s also the easiest way to learn and grow.
How do you plan to take over the world?
In high school I drew a musical symbol on my wrist and then friends asked me to draw it on them as well. Later in the day I got called down to the office for starting what was being called the “Nicult”. This method seems fairly easy to scale.
What are you the least sorry for?
Aggressively hating the color yellow
What is your art about?
Stillness abounds in these celestial landscapes. Taking a breath from the everyday dissonance, I escape into the limitless freedom of the wilderness. The tranquility of nocturnal solitude combines with these strong animals in their natural habitats. Take a step into the fantasy of a magical forest and be liberated by the feeling of belonging. This enchanting escape is healing to the soul in both the process of creation, and the silent serenity that flows out of these captivating pieces.
