Nicole Wilde was born in Brooklyn, New York but she always felt California’s siren call of freedom
and creativity. In 1987 she moved to Los Angeles. From an early age Nicole had written poetry
and short stories, followed by song lyrics, some of which were put to music for bands in which
she played bass guitar. And yet, she still longed for a way to express her creativity in a visual
form.
Possessing a “good eye” but lacking a good
camera, she finally purchased her first DSLR in
2012. Knowing nothing about the craft, she
began a driving, all-encompassing attempt
at learning photography through books,
online videos, and workshops. She expanded
her knowledge of Photoshop in the same way
and eventually combined the two disciplines,
thereby finally finding her creative outlet in
digital art.
