Her previous creative endeavors have included B&W photography, stained glass, polymer clay sculpture, and mixed media. A recent empty nester, Nicole is excited to support KAMA and continue meeting wonderful creatives in her community.

 

Nicole’s other passions include cooking, hiking and spending time with her family and beloved dog, Murphy.
