Recently exhibiting at Gallery 1265 within the University of Toronto Scarborough, was her exhibition Send Nudes. This was a collaborative project to which collaborators would paint an abstract and then Nicole would paint their nude to semi-nude portrait on top. These collaborations resulted in creative explorations of colour, harmony and story telling which Nicole wishes to carry on into future art pieces.

While her results are often more serious, Nicole takes a playful approach when creating art, focusing on things that sound fun to do and fun to make. As she finishes her final year of academic studies, she looks forward to advancing her artwork and network within the arts community.
