Born and raised in Georgia, Nicole Goldman grew up as one of five children. Nicole discovered drawing at a young age. As a shy and quiet child, it was a way of expressing herself in her large boisterous family. Nicole truly cemented her love of art in high school and with the encouragement of her art teachers, she decided to continue her art education into college. Nicole received her B.F.A. from the University of Georgia where she studied painting.

She currently focuses on colored pencil, graphite, and mixed media drawings inspired by SteamPunk and her struggles with her health.
