Introducing Tiny Art Tuesdays. Starting today, I'm going to be posting one, or several miniature paintings for sale every Tuesday on my Instagram account @coastalnicole (you can scroll to find them or look at #tinyartbynicole). Comment on the post to purchase and I'll DM you instructions to pay by e-transfer or PayPal.
I am an artist and educator on Vancouver Island, Canada. My art is deeply inspired by my connection to the landscape and the natural world. I am passionate about using creativity as a practice in mindfulness and self-care. Creativity has been an important part of my healing process during different phases of my life, including my ongoing recovery from a brain injury in 2022.
Trained in Fine Arts, Art History, and Elementary Education, I love teaching watercolour and journaling to local and international communities. I currently host an online art membership called The Calm Waters Collective, where we paint, journal and connect with each other through lessons and live calls. I also enjoy trail running, backpacking, skiing, and yoga, and exploring the island with my husband and two daughters.
