Nicole Sanderson’s Paintings

Nicole is a Zimbabwean born artist. She grew up on a tobacco farm where she nurtured her talent and developed her artistic skills from a very young age. With all the support from her parents, despite the tumultuous Zimbabwean economy and with the aid of a scholarship, Nicole attained her degree in Fine Art at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, USA in 2006.

Thereafter Nicole lived and worked in New York gaining valuable experience in the art world. Since then, she has travelled extensively throughout Europe and Southern Africa and spent a great deal of time painting in the South of France, Zambia, Zimbabwe and more recently in Sichuan, China where she was invited on a 7 week exchange programme by the Chinese Ministry of Culture.

Her primary choice of medium is oil paint on canvas. Nicole’s choice of subject has varied vastly over the past few years from nudes, portraiture, birds and more recently the human emotion.

In Nicole’s latest works of art, she has been inspired by an intense emotional shift and personal change where through painting, has found therapy in her art.

For the time being, Nicole has settled in Harare with her husband and 1 year old daughter where she has found purpose from her ability and is focusing on her painting career more than ever.
She hopes to continue exhibiting internationally where she can inspire like minded people and continue to explore the world and how she fits into it.
