Creating Hope and Healing Through Art — Nicole Cromwell Art

based in Carmel, Monterey County

As a registered nurse, I share my artwork to promote a sense of healing and calm. When I realized that my artwork had the power to soothe and create peace to my viewers, I knew I had found a way to combine my passion for nursing with my passion for painting. In the process, I have begun to heal my heart and soul from over 20 years working in critical care and a recent workplace violence assault. I’m currently working on developing a project to help front line workers heal through art.

I currently have a donated piece of artwork called “Hope” in a pop up art show with Gathering for Women, a Monterey based non profit serving homeless women in Monterey County. I’m also raising funds for the recent fire victims by selling a series of paintings that portray the strength and resilience of our community in the face of the devastating fires.
