About the Artist

I’m Nicolette Leigh Yates, a mixed media, surrealist artist living in Asheville, North Carolina with an interest in defining imagined worlds within the random textures of various media. Through the process of pareidolia and intuitive inner visioning, I illuminate the relationships between human identity, animals, landscape, and dream worlds.
