Nicole Traver, an artist based in Brookfield, CT, has transformed her challenging life experiences into a vibrant artistic journey. Born with spina bifida meningocele, Nicole faced numerous physical and social challenges, including years of physical therapy and numerous surgeries. Despite these obstacles, she has thrived, working as an Administrative Assistant and caring for her lively labradoodle, Toby.

​

Seeking a new creative outlet, Nicole discovered acrylic pour painting on YouTube during the Covid pandemic. This discovery ignited a passion that led her to experiment with various surfaces, from canvases to vases and ornaments. Sharing her work on social media and gifting pieces to friends and family, Nicole’s art gained recognition, culminating in her first exhibition at a local library in Connecticut, where she sold her first piece.

​

Nicole’s acrylic pour paintings are characterized by fluid, bold lines and mesmerizing abstract compositions. Her work evokes a sense of wonder and contemplation, reflecting the raw emotions beneath our consciousness. Each piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of vibrant colors and dynamic shapes, creating a powerful and thought-provoking experience.
