Nicole was born in Alaska in the early 80's and grew up in New Jersey near the Appalachian Trail. She is obssessed with how the human condition leaves evidence on a landscape. She loves history, science and the world around her. She received her B.F.A. in Photography in 2012 from Parsons New School for Design in New York City.

She currently lives in the Northern New Jersey suburbs where she still makes work about it's diverse landscape. Commuting to New York City is still a beautiful journey.
