Installation and painting - The CreativeMindClass Blog
Nicole Mueller is a San Francisco-based visual artist. Her work includes large-scale paintings installation, murals, and murals that mimic the effects that stained glass can produce. Driven by process, her abstract works are saturated and constructed by layers of collage-like forms. Her work explores the complexity of color, the state in flux, dichotomies inside painting, the transitional nature of the human condition, and the threshold between outside and inside, the tangible and intangible.
About my background
I'm mostly a painter who is a full-time an artist in San Francisco, California.
My experience also covers mural painting, installation work and working in the field of arts administration as well as career advancement.
I studied painting at MICA. Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore in Maryland, where I resided for many years prior to moving towards the west coast.
Another big part of my job and purpose is co-hosting Beyond the Studio with my fellow artist Amanda Adams, a podcast designed to promote transparency in the art world by conducting interviews with contemporary artists on their careers routes.
My personal fashion
My work is mostly unintentional that is driven by process. abstract, extremely saturated, made of color and layers of collage-like forms.
I create large-scale artworks, light-activated window installations that mimic the effects of stained glass as well as murals. Through this series, I'm exploring dichotomies, states of flux, and the threshold between outside and inside, the tangible and intangible.
What is the secret to creating my art
I'm of the opinion that that showing up regularly at your work is key--for me developing a studio practice as well as setting goals for myself to keep moving forward has allowed me to focus on my tasks when life gets in the way. It also helps in being aware of when I should step back and take a break or rest (for days, a month, or perhaps longer).
