Nicole Collins is a contemporary Canadian artist whose work, which takes the form of painting, performance, video, and sound, explores the effect of time, accumulation, force and heat on visceral materials.[1] She currently teaches at OCAD University.[2]

Education

She received her Master of Visual Studies from University of Toronto in 2009[2] and her Bachelor of Arts, Fine Arts Major, with Honours, from University of Guelph in 1988.[2]

Artistic career

Nicole Collins has shown her interdisciplinary work internationally, in galleries in Canada, America, Tokyo, Switzerland, and England, since the beginning of her artistic career in the early 1990s. She is currently represented by General Hardware Contemporary in Toronto, Ontario.[3] In 2013, her and her husband Michael Davidson began an art gallery[4] in their home living room at 26 McKenzie Crescent, Toronto.[5]
