Nicole Cromwell creates transcendent paintings that portray luminous, and aspirational interpretations of the natural world. The magnificent, miraculous beauty of our universe permeates throughout her portfolio. She composes meditative visual environments that invite us into blissful realms of serenity and quietude.

Indeed, Nicole’s works of art are endlessly captivating and enchanting. As as we gaze into awe-inspiring, far-reaching vistas, ethereal spacious skies, translucent sun-kissed water, and tactile land masses our imagination is immediately stimulated and our innermost yearnings are awakened and nurtured.

Nicole’s gorgeous, tranquil paintings entice us to pause and embrace precious moments in time. As viewers we relax, commune with nature, and contemplate areas of deep consciousness and metaphysical revelation. We experience the palpable and much-needed surges of restoration and renewal.

The artist evokes innumerable sensations through her versatile images of intimate, close encounters with nature in addition to immersive, expansive panoramas. She accomplishes this feat with the use of minimal compositions that forego distracting details. Instead, her art focuses on the more powerful breadth and depth of the inherent energies that emanate from nature’s elements.

Nicole’s exhilarating enthusiasm, playful spontaneity, and artistic prowess comprise her creative ingenuity. She employs a masterful process of layering, blending, and combining hues and textures to create her atmospheric images.

Propelled by unwavering confidence and bravado, Nicole often creates entire paintings with her hands and may place her canvas on the floor for a full-body, expressive interaction. These techniques emphasize her affinity with color field sensibilities and the stylistic modes of abstract expressionism. Possessing an expert approach to space and color Nicole applies them as powerful, spiritual, and emotive communication tools.

Nicole’s wealth of knowledge about the healing process is attributed to having a 25-year professional background as a critical care nurse. Now, as a full-time artist she helps nurses use creativity. She has published a free guide “20 Health Benefits of Creativity For Nurses: Well-Being Through Art”.

Nicole is also the owner of the Nicole Cromwell Gallery, located in Carmel by the Sea, CA.
