Nichole has made Southern California her home for the past 25 years and has enjoyed creating pottery for just as long. She makes all her pottery on a wheel using porcelain clay and mixes her own crystalline glazes from raw materials. Nichole has spent the last 15 years specializing in a rare glazing process called Crystalline Glazing, where crystals are grown in the glaze during firing, similar to how geodes and gems grow in nature. She has created several of her own color recipes and is constantly testing and searching for more. In the pottery world, the success rate is much lower for this glaze than others, often resulting in poor color, no crystals, or breaking under the intense heat. Due to the lengthy time required to master the glaze, the great care that must be taken in its mixing and firing, and the small success rate, Nichole is one of the few potters today who use this glaze.

Over these years, Nichole has won several awards for her work, including 1st Place Best of Show in 2023 at the 29 Palms Art Gallery at Joshua Tree National Park. Nichole has been published about her work in Palm Springs Life Magazine, Inland Empire Magazine, and Coachella Valley Weekly. Nichole has shown in several local galleries and expositions. She is also an active participant in the Highway 62 Art Tours; as well as, various other venues throughout Southern California.
