For our October 2019 First Friday, Nicola Merriman, a local Richmond artist, presented Artemis Gallery guests with models clad in her Hand Painted Art History Denim Jackets and puzzle piece earrings. The event was a HIT! Not only was the gallery packed, but we sold many of Nicola’s pieces. Here are some fun shots from the night! Photo Creds to Graham Jennings Media and Valeria Moreno.

More about Nicola: Nicola Merriman was born in the United Kingdom and spent most of her childhood growing up in West Virginia, USA. She attended Davis & Elkins College to study art education. What Nicola enjoys most, is doing emotional portraiture using oil paints. She plays with layers, light, and color in these paintings. Currently, Nicola is working on a wearable art series. The first jacket showed the image “Hygeia” by Gustave Klimt. The wearable art series allows her to refer to her passion for art history. https://nicolajaymerriman.com/
