Nicole Pietrantoni’s artwork explores the complex relationship between human beings and nature. Employing both traditional and non-traditional methods of printmaking, she creates installations, works on paper, and public art.
Nicole recently had an exhibition at the State College of Florida’s Fine Arts Gallery. The exhibit, “Stories-so-far: Constructions of Landscape,” is a unique installation that comes alive when light is shined on materials created by the artist, casting a shadow on the wall.
As a Leifur Eiríksson Foundation Scholarship recipient and Fulbright Fellow to Iceland in 2010-2011 she was a visiting artist at the Icelandic Printmakers’ Association where she taught printmaking classes and created a new body of work in Reykjavik. Nicole has been awarded numerous artist residencies in the US and Iceland including the SÍM Residency, Akureyri Artists Residency, and the Ora Lerman Charitable Trust. She was the recipient of the Margaret Stonewall Wooldridge Hamblet Award, the Elizabeth Catlett Fellowship, and a public art commission from the University of Iowa Hospital. Her work is in numerous collections and has been in exhibitions nationally and internationally.
She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, where she teaches printmaking and book arts.
