Nicole Polletta was born into a family of artists in Waterbury, Connecticut in the late 1970s and started creating from an early age. For more than twenty years, Nicole has worked across a variety of medium, from collage and drawing to photography and works on fabric.

Nicole most recently presented six drawings from the Transformation series in the form of an installation. There, she examined line and contour through the medium of charcoal to express the energy of change. In the three blank sheets of paper also included, she invited the viewer to imagine how this energy would manifest for themselves.

Architecture and all of its many fantastical forms have always been a source of inspiration for Nicole. She first delved into these in her street art inspired mixed media pieces and most recently revisited them in her single media collages. Blending minimalism with surrealism, she seeks to create a thought-provoking new world for the viewer to experience.

In her ongoing digital photography series, Nicole works to define moments of solitude within the chaos of modern life that she encounters through her frequent travels around the world. Nicole has had a long-standing interest in the psychic and physical spaces that we inhabit and that she explores in her work on fabric series, nowhere. In her seasonal playlists, Nicole features music from electronica to alternative to create a sonic world to mirror the visual one that she’s being inspired by. Her work is part of private collections around the country and overseas.

In tandem with her artistic practice and for over twenty years, Nicole has specialized in audience development for the contemporary visual arts. She’s the President of The Art of Change.

Nicole is an Art Mamas Alliance Founding Member. She graduated from Fordham College at Lincoln Center in New York City.
