Nicole Myers McMains is an emerging artist based in Northeast Ohio. Her passion for art began at a young age, nurtured by her family, who ensured Nicole always had the tools to express her creativity. This early foundation led to multiple statewide recognitions, affirming her path as a creator.

A graduate of Kent State University with a degree in Hospitality Management and a concentration in Fine Arts, Nicole spent years managing teams in the hospitality industry across the United States. Today, she has returned to her artistic roots, merging her professional leadership experience with her lifelong creative passion.

Specializing in acrylic and watercolor, Nicole’s work is a vibrant blend of impressionism and modern impasto. She employs thick layering techniques to create depth and dimension, often drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature. Each piece is crafted with a singular intent: to evoke emotion and joy to inspire a lasting connection with the artwork for the viewer.

When not in the studio, Nicole is likely on the move with her high school sweetheart Brian and their three small children. Whether she’s reading, cooking, or planning events, she thrives on the energy of a busy home. You can often find her in her art studio with her kids or on the sidelines coaching her son’s youth soccer team. Follow her latest projects on her socials @NicoleMyersMcMainsArtStudio .
