Nicolette's Resume

Nicolette received a master's degree in graphic design from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology. (The Institute is the successor to the Bauhaus and was founded by famed architect Mies Van der Rohe.) She is also actively involved in continuing education for internal architecture and sustainable dwellings.

Artistically, Nicolette works in multiple media: watercolor, watercolor pencil, pen and ink, Photoshop collage and computer drawing using Illustrator. Her work has been exhibited in more than a dozen shows.

Nicolette accepts commissions for illustrations and portraits of people, animals and residences. She usually creates portraits from one or more photos. An example - of her deceased cat, Tabi - can be seen at right; touch the image with your cursor to reveal the hastily-taken snapshot with which this painting began.

Nicolette is an expert in marketing communications and and is an interior designer. She likes cats, grows roses and is an amateur ice skater.
