Nicole Herz
Three in White, oil on canvas, 17"x20", 2002, NFS 
In Nicole Herz's oil paintings, she explores the worlds she finds both
inside and reflected in the windows of abandoned houses and barns.
Once inhabited and full of life, they now exist on their own terms,
still and sculpture-like.
Through the simplification and abstraction of color, composition and form, Herz creates a personal mood of place and time that expresses her most intimate reaction to the subjects. Her paintings celebrate the fundamental beauty of the old structures while evoking the lingering presence of past inhabitants. Herz is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where she earned her BFA in painting. She has also studied abroad in Rome, Italy. Herz lived in New York City until 2001, and now lives and works on Mount Desert Island, Maine.
