"Natural History" show opening at Gallery 1988 Venice

Last Saturday was the opening to the duo show "Natural History" at Gallery 1988: Venice with Leontine Greenberg and myself. It was a bit rainy but thanks everyone who came and extra special thanks to the fine folks at Gallery 1988.

It was my first time in California and I couldn't have been more thrilled to be there!





Here's a closer link at my pieces in the show. This venue specializes in pop culture shows and so I focused the theme of my paintings to what pop culture is to me. I tend to be on the nerdy side of pop culture...Dungeons and Dragons, Video Games, and Legos are a few of my references that came up in this show.

Beautiful

I have to ask, what do you scan your work with? Always looks so fabulous online!

Love the Leggo theme! Congratulations for a terrific show, Nicole!

Hi Jade,

I use a large format scanner. Epson GT-20000. It was pricy but I've been really happy with it, and I no longer have to scan sections of my paintings and piece them together in photoshop. Yea!

Thanks,
Nicole
