LITTLE HAITI
by Nico Suave
Originally from South Florida Nicole Holderbaum, aka Nico, moved to Jacksonville to study at UNF and stayed on to focus on her art. In addition to painting murals around the city Nico is the founder and director of @KidsMuralProject—an initiative working with Title 1 schools around the Jacksonville area—which in 2017 led students from 27 schools to paint 30 campus murals. In December, 2017 for @MiamiArtWeek, Nico was back in South Florida painting this beautiful arrangement for @CraftFoodBeer at NE 2nd Ave and 57th St in the Little Haiti neighborhood. With the support of @strata Nico says she was given complete creative freedom for this wall—”such a relief after so much commissioned work over the past year.” @nicosuavalicious @littlehaitimurals
