Nicole Bauberger's art practice varies. Finely honed skill in oil painting, begun over a 5-year apprenticeship in the 90’s, roots her artwork. And yet, she will use encaustic, acrylic, clay, beadwork, teabags, doilies and crochet yarn, research and writing, or songs on the ukulele, as required. She embraces collaboration with other artists, bringing to these occasions the rich skills she’s developed working solo with these various materials and her observations and imagination.
