Recently I received a message from the incredibly talented Staci Layne Wilson. Yes, the same Staci Layne Wilson best known for being a powerhouse author, reporter, and filmmaker in the horror and rock genre worlds. Although Staci and I have never met in person, our paths have crossed numerous times over the years through the overlapping of online communities that inspire our work. So hearing from her was not unexpected, but her asking to do a special feature write up about me and my artwork for Women In Horror was quite a lovely surprise.
She asked if I would be open to a Q and A that would help her take a little deep dive into the unique inner world that shapes the wide range of art that I create, and knowing how talented and impactful Staci’s writing is, of corpse I said yes. She took the insights from our interview and transformed them into a write up that I am genuinely excited to share with all of you.
“Nicole Garcia doesn’t just create art, she resurrects it, corpsifies it, and occasionally sticks a dead rat in its mouth for good measure. Known professionally as Living Dead Girl Nicole, this multi-disciplinary artist has carved out her own delightfully twisted niche in the horror art world.” Read more here!
For those not familiar with Staci’s Women In Horror project, here is a snippet from their website to help you become familiar with their mission…
“Your destination for all things fierce, frightening, and female-driven in the genre space. From visionary directors crafting tomorrow’s nightmares to authors penning deliciously dark tales, we’re here to celebrate the women who make horror happen.

Explore exclusive interviews and profiles that shine a spotlight on both legendary icons and rising stars who are reshaping the landscape of horror. Whether you’re hunting for your next spine-chilling read, tracking upcoming releases, or rediscovering classic gems, you’ll find something here to make your skin crawl (in the best possible way). Welcome to the dark side—we’ve been expecting you.”

As you know, I am always eager to support my horror family, and it is a true honor to find myself featured alongside so many fierce and visionary women who keep the genre alive and thriving. I am endlessly grateful to Staci for giving my work this incredible spotlight, and to all of you who continue walking with me through this whimsical and macabre world of my creative journey.
