About The Artista

Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI with roots in Mexico, Nicole is first generation Mexican-American. Nicole has made it her life’s mission to preserve cultural practices and traditions by activating safe spaces in her hometown where people can connect to their experiences and identities.

Nicole holds a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing Management from Alverno College with a minor in Elective Studies and was a dedicated student of Puerto Rican Bomba dance at the AfriCaribe Cultural Center in Chicago, IL and at Escuela de Bomba in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. She is a proud graduate of the Milwaukee High School of The Arts, and prior to her transfer to Alverno, spent years at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and Milwaukee Area Technical College studying photography.

As a multi-disciplinary artist, Nicole’s work has been exhibited throughout the city of Milwaukee, published locally and nationally and she has performed spoken word and dance abroad.

“I think I was born an artist, and as I grew older, my passion for the arts became so strong that I knew it was my calling in life. The themes in my work took years to shape but I eventually began to focus on the restoration and preservation of my own personal Latinx cultural experience and identity. It was important for me to begin documenting my life as a mother, a Mexican woman, a brown woman who can't seem to get love & relationships right and as someone healing from various life traumas. Because women like myself can sometimes go unnoticed and our voices become invisible. So my work is a culmination of my experience and what I witness from day to day.”-Nicole
