Nicole Newsted
San Francisco, California

Nicole Newsted’s art celebrates the everyday objects that bring joy into our lives. “I create work for my inner child,” she explains. Through thick, strong brushstrokes she also explores the visceral qualities of paint. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and a bunny named George Jones. Her two dogs also keep her company while she does yoga. Fun fact: she usually keeps her confection and candy models around for a while. She’s learned that donuts with the most preservatives hold their shape the longest and that jelly beans turn white if left in the sun too long!

Artist Statement

“My current work deals with texture and arrangement. I want the paint to have 'teeth.' I strive for the texture of the piece to be an integral part of the final image. My studio is filled with 'curiosities,' objects I obsessively arrange and rearrange to create pleasing compositions based on color, shape and the objects’ interaction with one another.”
