My work explores and in turn reveals the understated, ephemeral aspects of our world—whispers, innuendo, and intimacy—and offers a space for their contemplation.
Nicole Chesney
Featured in the collection of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Nicole Chesney describes her luminous, enigmatic works as “ nonrepresentational renderings of abstract spaces.” Born in Cinnaminson New Jersey, Chesney studied at the California College of Arts and Craft and received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 1997, and went on to receive her MFA from the Canberra School of Art in Canberra, Australia. In addition to the Smithsonian, Chesney’s works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Palm Springs Art Museum, and the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts.
