Bio
Nicole Bauberger’s art practice is mainly project-based. It
depends what she sets out to do, what vision she is
following. Finely honed skill in oil painting, begun over a 5-
year apprenticeship stint in the 90’s, roots her artwork, but
depending on what the moment calls for, she will use
encaustic, acrylic, clay, teabags, puppets, research and
writing, or songs on the ukulele.
Bauberger has lived in Whitehorse, Yukon since 2003.
