Nicole Estabrooks
ARTIST STATEMENT
I talk a lot. Ask anyone – and I’ll tell them to tell you the same thing. So why does an extroverted verbalist need another means of expression? Quite simply, because I believe art is intimate and find I’m more comfortable sharing my private thoughts visually.
Placing high value on sensuality, function, clean lines and honest portraits of humanity, my subject matter represents the things and places I want to visit again. Reflecting my thoughts and feelings, these pieces allow me to convey what I hold as important. They are monuments to moments.
