Description:

Nicole Cochary was born in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 1997. She currently splits her time living and working in Providence, Rhode Island, and Jackson, Wyoming. She received Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art from Brown University in May of 2019. As an interdisciplinary artist, her work ranges from traditional oil paintings to experimental acrylic sculptures and video, exploring ideas of domesticity, consumerism, advertising, social culture, and food. Her most recent body of work revolves around concepts of home, venturing to heighten the fluidity of the term by playing with environment, the uncanny, scale, and memories stemming from her upbringing in different states across the US. Cochary’s work has been exhibited at venues including Sarah Doyle Center, Providence, RI; the List Art Center, Providence, RI; Bell Gallery, Providence, RI; Gutenberg Museum, Mainz, Germany; and D300 Gallery at the California Institute for the Arts in Valencia, CA. Her most recent shows were structure/nurture at the List Art Center, and the Annual Juried Student Exhibition, curated by Carla Edwards and Shey Rivera Rios at the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts in Providence, RI.
