Women In Arts Network Spotlights Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole in Exclusive Interview Feature

I am still so honored to have had my “I’m Not Staying On This Farm” split face portrait of Mia Goth chosen to be featured in the Women In Arts Network Faces Exhibition. Being invited to do an exclusive interview made the experience even more meaningful, and after reading the piece they just published about me and my work, I am truly in awe of how beautifully they captured my essence.

“The world has enough safe, predictable, easily categorized art. What it needs is more artists like Nicole who show up covered in glitter and fake blood with a monster under one arm and a Prismacolor pencil behind their ear and make exactly the thing nobody asked for but everybody needed.“

For those not familiar with the Women in Arts Network, here is a snippet from their website to help you get you familiar with their mission…

The Women in Arts Network is a one-of-a-kind global platform that unites talented women in the arts, offering them a thriving space within the art world. We bring together writers, podcasters, gallerists, curators, and more, fostering not only collaboration but also celebration. It’s a place where collaboration isn’t just possible, it’s celebrated. Here, women from around the globe don’t just connect, they form powerful networks and lasting friendships. So, whether you’re on the hunt for talent or ready to showcase your own, Women in Arts Network is just the place for you.

Read the full feature interview here and find it listed along with some of the other spotlights and features of my artwork on the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

And if you are interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and make some magic together!

Frank Schieber contacted me to let me know that everyone now has FREE access to my exclusive artist interview on the Cool Hand Frank platform! So if you were not able to sign up to access it when it went live last May or if you didn’t get a chance to read it when it was temporarily free during spooky season, then nows your chance to give it a gander on the official Artist Interviews section of their website.

From my original May 27, 2025 post: “Not only was it an insightful and energizing conversation, but I’m also thrilled to be the very first artist spotlighted in their brand new interview series. We had a blast diving into the inspiration behind my branding and artistic pseudonym, how Midwest horror, pop culture, and the local rock scene have shaped my work, my evolution through different artistic mediums, and which iconic figures living and dead I dream of gifting my art to. I also share some fun facts that might surprise my collectors, how the Soska Sisters pulled me out of an artistic funk, and even reveal my go-to beverage for keeping the creative blood flowing.” Read it here now!

Mini Jarsters Are Here! 👹🫙

Posted on by

Being temporarily unshackled from the 9-to-5 has only fueled my treasure hunts, gathering curious bits and pieces to bring the ideas swirling in my whimsical, wacky brain to life. After collecting just what I needed, brainstorming functionality, and getting my claws to work, my first Jarster (👹+🫙) escaped my imagination and was hand-sculpted into existence. True to all of my Monstrosities, its personality shone through during the creative process, making me giddy (as usual), and before I knew it, I couldn’t stop myself from giving it a few siblings, each one revealing its own quirky personality as I sculpted it.

The base of these Mini Jarsters are 3″ clear glass mini mason jars (lid included) that I then hand sculpted into a loveable creatures. Each one having my signature Monstrosities look with big eyes, wild faux hair, horns, a toothy grin, spotty flesh and a touch of glittery magic. They are all pre-made and ready to open their heads (literally) to your secrets and protect your tiny treasures, hand written manifestations/wishes, herbs, dice, spells, trinkets, treasures and more all while bringing personality to your space. They are perfect for art collectors who want something beyond traditional art and crave a little fun and functional chaos in their decor.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ A playful blend of art and function, handcrafted to guard your secrets, stash and tiny treasures
✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches yours
✨ Small enough to display on shelves, desks, altars, gamer tables, and more
✨ Guaranteed to spark smiles and conversations wherever they lurk, adding character to any space
✨ They are collectible creatures that no big box store has and therefore make for unique gifts

As pictured, four of these little Jarsters are pre-made and ready for their new homes! None will ever be remade the same, therefore once adopted, only you will own the one you choose. Claim yours online now in my Etsy shop before they are spoken for. Whichever ones are not adopted by the time I make my next art drop at Closet Collectibles will become available to see and purchase* in person at the store as well. Don’t miss your chance to add one (or more) of these whimsical little guys with monstrous personalities to your collection. 

Stay Strange & Magical ✨
