Nicole Durham

Nicole Durham is a Contemporary Neo-Expressionist Artist living in North Houston, TX. Durham's exploration into nontraditional mediums has awarded her multiple exhibition opportunities, including "best in show" at The Ardest Gallery in The Woodlands, Texas. She is also a founding member of Tenacious Artists, an all-women's artist collective, recently completing their first group show, Elements of Contrast. Durham was born in Beidigheim, Germany in 1975 and moved to El Paso, Texas where she became a US citizen at 8. Daughter to a German mother and African American father, her multi-racial upbringing helped mold her creative soul and passion for art. Her work often focuses on a deep exploration of the female form, female emotions, or the myriad of experiences that define womanhood. Through nontraditional mediums—whether it be caulk, textiles, found objects, or organic materials, Durham seeks to transcend conventional representations of femininity and delve into the complexities of identity, resilience, vulnerability, and strength.
