Nicole Valentine Nelius is an artist, stylist and creative director with a distinct and playful approach to colour, composition and the everyday.

Her creative world moves fluidly between painting, interiors, photography and storytelling. Whether composing flowers and familiar objects on canvas, creating an image or dreaming up an entire visual world, Nicole is drawn to colour, character, whimsy and the beautifully unexpected.

Her work spans fine art, editorial, campaigns and creative collaborations, but is always connected by the same instinctive eye and sense of play.

Born in Canada. Nicole lives and works in Austinmer, Australia.
