NICHOLETTE (NIKKI) MARsICANO

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is always focused on composition. I think about the shapes I make with objects such as trees, people, and animals, and also about the shapes created in the background areas.

I want my work to have a life of its own after it is created, and dislike giving my work titles but do so for inventory purposes. The meaning or interpretation of each work is left to the individual viewer.

My passion for drawing is reflected in the many lines used in my work so that sometimes my work is both drawing and painting. A limited palette of three to four colors is used so that the focus remains on shape and line.

The inspirations in my life and art are nature and the human environment. The woods and foliage that surround my home inspires many images in my work.
