I’m Nicole, a BIPOC artist with over 20 years of experience creating art that reflects my identity and inspirations. I studied Art Practice at UC Berkeley, and my work is deeply influenced by my Black and Hawaiian heritage. My portfolio spans intuitive abstract pieces and figurative works, created with mediums such as charcoal, gouache, ink, acrylic, pastels, and graphite.
Beyond fine art, I’m also the creator of Smiling Musubi, a whimsical collection celebrating Hawaii’s beloved snack—spam musubi!
Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you find as much joy in exploring my creations as I do in making them!
