Nicole Steacy (b. 1989, Pocono Mountains, PA) is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn, NY.
ABOUT NICOLE
Nicole received a BA in Design Art and Social Psychology from Lehigh University (2012). This led to her working in fashion with a celebrity stylist in New York City and a fair trade company in Ghana, before earning a MA in Art Education from New York University (2015). Nicole then taught Visual Art at a public high school in Brooklyn for 8 years. During this time she established Art of Steacy and completed a degree in Interior Design from University of California Los Angeles Extension (2023, Earned with Distinction). She now works as an interior designer with a Brooklyn based studio developing commercial and residential projects.
With frequent road trips to the Pocono Mountains PA, Princeton NJ, Martha’s Vineyard MA and all about the Northeast — Nicole is continuously collecting candid experiences to use within her work.
ABOUT THE WORK
I paint candid scenes with a focus on nostalgia, capturing interactions that quietly shape our personal and collective histories.
