Outside of New Orleans




Wow! I actually made it here. What an honor! My name is Nichole, and I'm from a little town outside of New Orleans. That's right: New Orleans. I'm a Katrina survivor! But we weren't overly affected as much as they were.

I've been painting portraits for about 5 years now, and I've seen where I've improved. Its a learning process. Alot of that counts from lurking here at the forum and checking out the fabulous artists at SOG.

I paint in acrylics and was thinking about attending a fine arts school in New Orleans to learn how to paint portraits with oils. Portraits in oils seem to be what's expected from a portrait artist. I've accepted commissions before, and thanks to the resources found here I was planning to market myself more fully. But now that Katrina happened, those ideas flew right out the window. I'll have to start researching other places and making other plans. That's life!
