Nicole Delesalle
Nicole Delesalle was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. The daughter of an architect and painter, she was exposed to the arts from an early age and has always practiced and pursued the arts in various mediums. After studying fine arts and philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Delesalle honed her craft and gained new ways of thinking by studying the expressionist and cubist abstract movements.
She attributes her early interest in abstract expressionism to her studies of artists including Pablo Picasso, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, and Franz Kline, among others. Delesalle creates works that portray the underlying messages of her subconscious mind, free from influences and conformity, akin to that which can only be found in the most native state of the mind’s eye.
Always having a passion for creative endeavors, Delesalle completed a successful 12 year career in Real Estate Marketing Management with one of Western Canada’s top Real Estate Development firms, Polygon Homes Ltd. While there, she completed UBC’s Graduate program in Urban Land Economics.
A fall into love changed Delesalle’s life path and brought her to Santa Barbara, California, where she currently resides and works from her home studio. Now happily married and raising three children, Delesalle is able to pursue a painting career as her primary profession and ultimate passion project.
