Nicolette is a fiber artist based in Los Angeles, CA. She studied textile design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and discovered her love of textiles, particularly weaving, during summer classes at the Rhode Island School of Design. Nicolette is passionate about using hand-knitting techniques for fine art, a medium that is traditionally associated with apparel. She wants to use hand-knitting alongside hand-woven techniques to create unique and textured fine art tapestries. Nicolette is excited to experiment with this idea and see what she can create. She loves working with unconventional materials and has even tried using leather to make rugs.
Nicolette draws inspiration from the natural world, but not in the way you might expect. Instead of looking at flowers or the ocean, she is fascinated by the wonders of the cosmos and earth. Nicolette is always thinking outside of the box and is intrigued by the beauty of phenomena that exist beyond our planet. She strives to capture these features in her work and transform them into stunning pieces of art.
