Nicola worked for The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas gift shop, selling admission tickets to the museum, and retail sales of Bahamian craft objects. She worked during the inaugural year of The Bahamas International Film Festival as an Advertising, Sales, and Marketing Assistant. Nicola worked for BIFF on it's 10th anniversary of the annual festival.
More recently, Nicola has focused on being an artist, and has had shows at Jitter's Cafe, Compass Point, Doongalik Studios, Cafe Europa, The Ladder Gallery at NPCC and Caves Heights.
Nicola's style is primarily as an abstract expressionist, with oil and acrylic paints as her mediums of choice. Her canvases are filled with raw emotion and energy. The paintings symbolizing peace and nature are a reflection of entropy, a metaphor of man's relationship with the universe. This shows Nicola's continued affinity for World Peace, and its connection to Nature.
