Nicole Wilson is an oil painter and actress living and working in New York City. Her whimsical paintings are fragments of her dreams, memories and nostalgia. Often painting relatable subjects such as children and animals into her work, Wilson leaves space in her dreamlike landscapes for the viewer to project his/her own experiences onto them. Reflecting on the connection between the viewer and her work, Wilson says, “I treat my subjects not as unformed beings, but as sagely visionaries still directly connected to the immediacy and magic of life we so often lose touch with as we grow into adults.”
